The "Save 12k in 2020" Thread!

Reporting £1895.17 for May. Like everyone else - no meals out, no trips, no pub, no shopping - just the basics. 
WFH I've saved £100 on petrol, but on the flip-side we are using Asda click&collect for groceries, rather than risking Aldi, and spend has increased by £80. The waistline has also increased a fair bit! 
We also had to pay for expensive flights back from getting caught in Spanish lockdown on holiday - ouch. All remaining holiday plans this year on-hold now though so that will add money back into the pot.

Number 79 reporting a very good month for us.. Overtime for me and nonstop sunshine on my solar panels contribute to a May saving of £2804 giving a total so far of 11460 for the year. Thanks slowly fading for your work. Updating form noe

Number 43 reporting £1483.65. Benefiting from lockdown so no social spends and more intense rota at work meant slightly higher pay. Would still prefer life was back to normal though. 
Spreadsheet updated.

£578.43 for May, LISA bonus didn't arrive! Also with being stuck in the house 24/7 I've had plenty of time to remember all the things I've being getting around to getting/updating, so a disproportionately larger spend.

Next month should have a LISA bonus, so hopefully will get me back on track.

I'm happy to report £540.94 for May, and even happier to report that I'm back to work tomorrow after months of furlough - hoorah!  Here's hoping no more furlough/furlough pay!

Great to see so many people saving during the lockdown period! A extra £2,815 for me this month and hoping for an equally good month in June.

hi all, no. 10 reporting for both April and May - my apologies for the very late update for April but it's been a hectic month. For April I can report a measly £437.71 and for May a bumper £3,260.03 (April I finished off paying for some flights I took in March, plus had plumbing repairs). That brings my total for the year so far to £7,175.20. Happy with that!

£437 is by no means measly! If I think back to a year ago I would have been so happy to have that amount in a savings account! The most important thing is just to keep plodding along - it soon builds up!
