Can I be put down for £550 please?
This equates to £16.50pd and roughly £135pw, which is what I'm going to focus on.
No big shop this week and have delayed the next lot of AllPlants deliveries until I can look for another code - not looking to pay the full price of £5pp so hopefully will find a deal and get restocked on these.
Haven't done a big shop this week, we have a fair amount in so going to try and survive with a couple of top-up shops, hopefully this won't lead to overspending at the local shops!!!
£9.30 spent at Tesco for bread, milk, butter & cheese etc
We have in a fair amount of salad and some already cooked veg etc as well as some batch cooked curries and other bits and bobs i think i can make meals out of.August Grocery Challenge £315.33/£400.007 -
October budget went well coming in £132.47 under budget for 5 weeks!
November budget for me starts on 25th October, so a 4 week month until next payday. My budget is £80 per week so please put me down for£320 for the month.
This is for 2 adults (we have a dog but I have a separate budget for him)7 -
Can I join you please? I did set a budget at the start of the year but lost track of spends 3-4 months in so I am just trying to get a handle on things before the end of 2021 with a view to budgeting better in 2022. My budget is:
£350 for the month
There is just me, my always hungry 15 yo and our pup so I am not sure how we seem to spend so much. That said I am often conflicted about being prepared (stocking up the cupboards) and saving money.
