@Save_Dosh thinking of you, Take all the time you need. We'll be here when you are ready to come back. 
Spent £7 yesterday on the affordable groceries, off to Mr T today to get a few bits to see us into April.

Currently sitting at £436.30/£460. I'm not planning to spend anything today or tomorrow, so that should be my final total, but I won't declare just yet, just in case.

Final shop of the month done today.  Have finished the month with £16.72 left which I will move over to the bulk fund as I have overspent there due to going to the butchers.  I hadn't planned on going until Thursday but after speaking to DD1 last night she asked me to get her some sausages to take over when we visit this evening so thought I might as well get some of my own meat for next month.  Will need to go to the butchers to get more meat later in April.

@Save_Dosh - my condolences to you about your friends.  It's hard watching someone die of cancer.  Part of it is grieving for someone while they're still alive, because they can't go back to being the person they were, but you wish their suffering would stop while not wanting to lose them.  

On behalf of everyone here, big hugs to you.

I have just realised I didn't put my budget in for March but I have been doing the challenge!
My budget was £300 and the final total for March is £266.41! I am really pleased about the difference in changing to Lidl from Tesco, and have managed to get a couple of TGTG bags from M0rries over the month which has helped.
I will go over to the April thread and put in my budget before I forget!

Total for this month £467.82, which is not too bad as running annual total is £986.09 
I have included everything except car exes and pet exes.

I have literally just squeezed in under budget for March; £199.55 out of a £200 budget.  Payday for me today so April shopping starts tomorrow.

Another 10.18 spent today which takes my total for March to €313.18  that takes me €63.18 over budget. Out of the grocery budget I always keep note of cleaning and toiletries to see how much is spent in these areas. Only 1 item for household cleaning, a bottle of dreft washing up liquid for a €1.  I have stocked up in the toiletries department with 5 Nivea  foaming silk mousse body wash 5 for €10 and Nivea body mousse body lotion 2 for €6.49 .  My year budget is 3k which is still within budget .  €728.18/€750.  see you all on the april challenge.
