    Hi Winterbear and welcome 🤗 
    Typically, things like groceries, fuel and medication don’t count as ‘spends’ as they are usually deemed essential. 

    What brought you here in the first place? 😊

    KK
    As at 15.10.25:
    - When bought house £315,995 mortgage debt and end date at start = October 2039 - now £229,702
    - OPs to mortgage = £12,345 Estd. interest saved = £5,863 to date
    Fixed rate 3.85% ends October 2030

    Read 59books of target 52 in 2025, as @ 18th October 
    Produce tracker: £426 of £300 in 2025

    @winterbear95 those are basic groceries so they are one of the things that can be excluded. In other words, if that's all you spent today, it's still an NSD. Also don't worry about setting a target, it's fine if you want to see how you go! xx
