An increase on £300 in a bid to totally restock stores, possibly account for some tastier fruit and veg and cover the cost of my daughters newly discovered lactose intolerance.

Thank you for the new thread @elsiepac .
My budget for June is £150 please.
My month runs from 27 may to 23rd June this time. Shopping for 2 Adults, 3 children and 2 dogs treats, cleaning supplies but not dog food or alcohol. I am also not including ice cream/lollies but keeping an eye on how much we spend on these as my children love having an ice cream after school and a pack doesn’t last long between 3 of them.Currently spent £0/150 but this will change if the rain has a break, want to go to the fruit and veg shop in the village and see if the small siansburys have the items I want.6 -
I have a store to use up and want to get creative so please can I be put down for £100 for June please5

Thought I'd commented already but it seems to have disappeared!
I'll be going for £230 again. That's for 2 adults, 2 dogs and a cat and includes cleaning products and toiletries but not eating out.
Our month runs 25th-25th. I think it's going to be a tough month - we're already nearly halfway through the budget 😱6
