    Count me “in”, please, @elsiepac.  £120, please.  That’s for two adults.  Our month will run from 1st June to 30th June.

    Thank you for the new thread.  Hope you are fully recovered from the Virus now.

    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 👍

    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 ☹️

    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.
    Running calendar months.

    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!! :D ) , so I need to get control back over it  :smiley:
    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 👍👍
