£650 to my regular savers for June please3 -
Number 13 TinaBallerina reporting £225.15 for June, I had Covid for 2 weeks and was in my bed for most of the time so I couldn't get out to the shops and I was forced to make do with what I had in, the fridge really was bare by the end of the two weeks though. Wouldn't recommend Covid as a great money saving tip though
Thinking of moving to paying for my food shopping in cash, although the cash tills around here always have a longer queue, I'll try it for a month or two and see if it works to control my food spending!

Oh yes, and I have updated the conditional formatting in the spreadsheet, so your colour for your running total may have changed! - So if you are green, you are at 50% or greater against your target, with various shades of amber reflecting you starting to run shorter than averaged monthly totals for the year to date. Easier to look than explain!! So here's the link to the spreadsheetSave £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)
