hi @viczs123 and welcome to our lovely thread! I've added you to the list, hope you enjoy the challenge!

@Quantaqa you don't have to include basic groceries - if that's all you bought at Lidl then it's still an NSD. Just saying xxx

I was tempted to buy myself a jacket, but decided to think about it for a bit longer yet. So today was a NSD.

No 5 for me. Half way there. I'm hoping to smash it this month rather than crawl towards the target like last month.
