Hi, I’m looking to join this month with a total budget of £200 from 1st to 29th February.

I did so well at using up a lot of what we had in already but don’t think I’ll be able to repeat it this month hence the slightly higher budget

Thank you so much for running the thread, I found it really helped me to keep my focus last month:T

First shop of the month today with a very small shopping list to complete this week’s meal plan!

Hi all,
I am aiming for £400 or less for a four week month. Today will be the first of four shops so aiming to stay under £100.:)

Happy February all,

Can I set a budget of £300 Please.

Not got the reserves this month, and having huge building works done in kitchen area, so cooking from scratch is limited, will do my best

Morning all.

After a successful January could you please put me down for £100 spend this month. Going to test myself this month!

Thanks

Into Tosco for some half price Pataks Brinjal pickle, 4 jars, 2 of the lime too, the garlic pickle is so hard to find, succumbed to a y.s. chicken, 2 thick cut belly pork slices and half a shoulder of lamb. £12.49 total

First spend of the month at £4.58 - got some eggs, fruit, milk, and frozen veg so I think this week I'll be breaking into my huge rice store and having an egg fried rice week!

Asda are doing a roll back on the apples and frozen veg I usually get, and I know it's only a difference of about 30p but it's still nice to see :rotfl:

Count me in, please, Elsiepac. £120 as usual for me and DH, but it may increase if we’ve got anything left from January. (I haven’t tallied up yet.)

Thank you for running the thread, Elsiepac. It is appreciated, particularly since you’re really busy.

Having declared for January, we’ve got £10.20 to roll forward. Apologies, Elsiepac, please change my GC Budget to £130.20 for February.

Thanks,

Pip
