Thankyou for the suggestions @Suffolk_lass I shall pop over for a read momentarily. Have made myself a motivating running total display on the kitchen door this morning as well.

First shop of the month today and spent £37.17

£212.83 left 

Also spent some of the bulk fund at the butchers but won't be tracking that on here but definitely enough sausages & burgers for this month.  Also bought a couple of things which come from the grocery budget which are included above.

I'm £31.66 down after a little stockpiling of one or two things we were low on - brown lentils, veggie stock, and my psyllium husk capsules - essential to keep things moving smoothly, sorry if TMI! There's enough of each to see us through into the New Year but I wouldn't want to be caught out without any of them.

Can I join in please aiming at £200 for 3 adults to run from today till 31st no big family lunches as we used too whole family is 11and I often cooked big roast and pudding or Barbie on a Sunday but for time being all on hold will still have grandchildren in twos.  haven't done this challenge for a while but handed my notice in at work early retirement so need to get in strict routine while still earning, DH plans to carry on for couple of years so hoping we will.manage.

Hi all. Please put me down for £400
Only a guess at this point as first month completing

Just milkman so far, paid by direct debit. I know it is more expensive, but if I don't otherwise need to go shopping, it keeps me away from any temptation. I did shop on Monday (in September) and I'm going to see how long we can go without a top up. I do have a £5 Coop voucher I could resort to if we need more fruit but I have berries in the freezer, russet apples still on the tree and a tray of cooking apples stored

£27.52 In Aldi this morning, hopefully will last me well into the month picked up 3 seasonal squash, 79p hoping they are spaghetti squash.
