Thanks for starting this new thread.

Thanks for the new thread @elsiepac.  I'm in again for May with a budget of £250.  As usually anything left at the end of the month will be transferred into the Bulk Buy Fund for buying meat at the butchers, trays of tinned foods and boxes of long life milk.  My month will run from 1-28 May.

This is my first month so just guessing that I will spend £300 for the month from 28 April-28 May.  Will keep all my receipts and set a more accurate amount from next month

Hi @elsiepac. Thanks for running these threads. Could you please put me down for £400 for May 1 - 31. I’m still on April trying not to go over too badly again. 😕

I'm going to set a reduced £150 target for fresh food, and try not to buy any but the running out stores. There are four packets of cream crackers in the house and I fear I am starting to hoard!

Hi, can I join please?

I've not kept account of ammount spent just on groceries before, so I'll set my target at £310
Hopefully next month I'll realise I can reduce it!

Hi elsiepac, I see you've added me in for £180 already for this month.  Thank you for that, that is indeed my budget for May.  As always my month runs from 25th as that's when OH gets paid.  I will need to do a bit of a stock up shop at the start of May as we've run donw the freezer and a good bit of the pantry.  I have ordered my fitsy ever 'too good to go' bag form M&S and pick up tonight.  Hoping it's worthwhile and might save us a bit in the long run.  We do have a local community fridge that I will look into sigining up for too.

Thank you for the shiny new thread, @elsiepac! Please can you put me down for £500 again? It's a 5 week month for us, and I'm still feeding & cleaning up after 5 adults with at least two different diets going on. Might try squeezing it a bit next month...

Hi, Please can I join? I need to rein it in a bit! I would like my target to be £250

Thanks for the shiny new thread, @elsiepac.

Please put me down for the usual £140. 

Many thanks.  That's for all supermarket shopping for two adults.  Our month runs from 1st to 31st May.
