Total spends of £39.64 this week on a few small top up shopping trips. 

Will do a last proper shop on Friday to see us over till the end of the month. 

I’ll work out what we have left of budget to know what I have to spend but we should come under budget 🥲

Morning all, going to pop to Ald! later as I need milk and a few other bits.

Hi folks, I've lost it with updating this month.  The kitchen is getting decorated and everything's a bit of a guddle but we are still keeping on top of the grocery spends.  I''ll have to double check when I get home but I have around £60 left to do us to the end of the month.  Thanks for the new thread @elsiepac, I'll definitely sign up for April - I'll go over and do it now.

A couple of spends since I last updated which takes me to £133.95 left for the rest of the month so should be doable.

I checked and I am pleasantly surprised to have £80 left to do us to the end of the month.  Some of that will be used today to buy potatoes to make creamy potatoes to go with our Roast beef (being used up from the freezer) tonight.

Went shopping this morning and spent just over £25 across Mr Ts, Morries & Ice*and.  This leaves me with £108.55 until the end of the month.  Only another 2, maybe 3 shops to go so should be plenty as freezer is pretty full and there are a lot of HM ready meals in there too so it's mainly things like veg, bread & yoghurts.  Should be plenty.  Anything left at the end of the month will be transferred to my Bulk Fund as usual which is definitely needed as only just over £1 left in it this month!
