I'm in again for June please. Budget will be £250 again. May is looking as though I might just make it which will be good if I do as I haven't for the first few months of the year! My month runs from 1-30 June.

i am in for (ugh) $600 USD. we are going to Florida for the first two weeks and there is no food there. Plus we have four extra mouths to feed. (son and family left New York City to escape the Covid and they've been staying in our place since March 15). That won't include another $100 for a massive takeaway when we first arrive. And I am doing a large pickup order from an Asian market there to put those staples in our house as well. So...maybe it will be closer to $800. *Sigh*7

Count me in again @elsiepac. Please can you put me down for £250 for June to run from 1st to 30th. Had to up it as I’ve gone way over in May and it’s a bit disheartening so I’m starting with a higher budget but hope to do better in June. This includes all food, toiletries, cleaning products and alcohol or 2 active people.Hoping June will be easier as have less weeks, should only need 3 shops 👍4

I’m going to go for £200 again which will start on Friday 29th May (payday for me). My son hopefully goes back to school on 1st so that may give my cupboards some relief! I would like to come in below this but in the current climate I can’t guarantee anything ☹️SPC #023 SPC 12: £125.86[/COLOUR]:SPC 13: £214.98: SPC 14: £297.41 SPC 15: £237.27 SPC 16 £335.39; SPC 17 £662.09 SPC 18 £20MFW #21 Mortgage start Dec 2015 £79,950; June 2025 £19,394.00 2025 OP £1589/COLOR]/£2,000 MFiT T6 #3 £19070/£25,500 (72.82%%) MFiT T7 #3 £2050/£21,930 (9.34%)4

Joining in for June with the same budget as May £450. 2 adults and 2 children, over compensating for no school/family/going out with lots of favourite foods.
I'll either hit May and then June will be a struggle or miss May and then June should work out ok. We'll see.

Can I join for £240 please - I've not done this challenge for a couple of years, plus as we're not going out now, our 'entertainment' budget has sort of merged with our food budget (with Tesco the clear winner, now taking most of our money!!
) , so I need to get control back over it
I'll go from 28 May as that's payday - thanks
Also please can someone tell me how to subscribe to this thread, the forum has had a facelift since I was last on here! Thanks
Edit: I think I've found it, do we just click 'bookmark'? If so, the facelift has made it much simpler 👍👍4
