Count me "in" for July @elsiepac. At the moment, our
GC Budget will be £140
but that may increase if there's anything to roll over from June. That £140 is for all groceries and supermarket shopping, for two adults, normally 3 meals a day. Our month will run from 1st to 31st. The Meat Fund is excluded and usually spent at our local butcher shop every couple of months.
Thank you for the new thread.

It ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it - that’s what gets results!

I will be £200 again please when I get there a little early. Not sure about reducing at this time but I am saving the excesses, what ever they may be. That may come when I can get DH to finish work completely due to his health.

Hi there,
I'd like to join for July (29 June to 28 July inclusive) with a budget of £180, please. Thank you very much!(Mr Micawber, "David Copperfield")5 -
Thank you, @elsiepac! It's another 5 week month for us, from 1st to 31st; I'll be brave & go for £550 again to feed 5 adults with (at least) 2 different diets going on. Several changes this month; DD1 will no longer be working for a supermarket, so her opportunities to pick up veggie treats at a discount will have vanished, so she's thrown back onto the main family budget again, but against that, she'll be working much more regular hours, so won't be so tired & will be able to give more of a hand with the actual cooking. And our first grandchild is due to put in an appearance at some point, so there will be guests; we're just 4 miles away so the obvious base for the admiring hordes. However I believe DS3 is missing for some of the month; off Ooop North for a church thing, provided his nephew arrives at a convenient moment, so the ready-made pizza supply can dwindle for a bit. Or maybe that's August? I do lose track a bit!

I don't think I've played since last year! I read along every month! Would love to join in this month. We have been under our £300 per month budget every month so far this year I'm going to stick to £300 for now which is for 2 adults, a dog and a cat (~£60 of our budget goes towards them). Our month runs payday-payday (25th).3
