Happy World Vegan day everyone.
I managed to come under budget this month, and hopefully I will be able to drop my budget in the New Year; as after eighteen months of my eldest daughter and granddaughter living with me and my youngest daughter, they have now found their own place. So, we can aim to get it at the figure it used to be when there were just two of us.
My month finished on the 25th, so i am a bit late hopping over to the November thread.GC 2026 ~ Jan £213.45/180 Feb £180.21/£120 Mar £158.53/£150 April £44.20/£120 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month). £23.38/30 Bulk fund Two person vegan household, with occasional visitorsJoin me on the meal plan thread : https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6356309/could-we-start-a-meal-plan-thread-again-so-its-not-lost-in-the-gc/p1Forever learning the art of frugality2 -
