Spent £57.70 in B&M (but that was paying for my DDs shopping as well as my own) and £15.57 in HB on all my cleaning and toiletries for the month. Trying to get the freezer stock down so I can defrost ready for Christmas stock up and the food cupboards are bursting so not too much to buy this month.All that clutter used to be money0

My budget for this month is £150 instead of our usual £200. Good luck to everyone!0

Good morning everyone!
My month started on 26th September and I've done two shops since then, total £88.98 / 360. The second shop was more tourism than actual need as an aldi has opened near our new house. Yipee! It was my first time shopping in aldi - very impressed especially at the super 6 or whatever it is called for veg. Also bought a few random items to try eg marmalade for 19p etc.
Have a nice weekend0 -
Can I join for £320 this month please?
That'll be about £80/week for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. This month I'll try to get control of my work lunches which usually run away with an extra £12-15 a week!GC Feb 2019 (to 10th) £397.07/£3000 -
I'm on a push this month to work my way through the freezer and stock cupboard... I realised the cupboard had got a bit out of control the other week when I brought a few special offer tins and had no room for them!
It just seems silly to be buying lots for the cupboard and yet never eat it!
I spent £14.84 in Tescos this morning on fresh stuff for the week ahead. I've also started to buy a few foody bits for Christmas presents now that's in stock. I find buying the odd bit here and there really spreads the cost!Because it's fun to have money!

After September's fail we now have a shiny new cooker, a freezer full of meat & veg, pasta, rice, tinned potatoes & tinned tomatoes plus other tins.
So, October's budget must not exceed £140 for 2 adults food & cleaning etc. & 2 rabbits food & hay.
Best of luck everyone!
