    Just back from Te$co and have my first June spend of £28.75. It was quite a lot of stuff as I tried to stick to offers and also used my coupons, before offers/coupons it would have been £49.79 so I'm quite happy.

    Off to update sig.

    Hi, DH does not get paid until Tuesday so I will start the challenge from then. Could you please put me down for £200 again. It is going to be a costly month with several birthdays.
    January spend = £100

    Thanks to Pink, Rosie and Mrs M, and everyone else for the support as always. Please put me down for £450 for June

    Staying out of the shops is really working but I need to take it further.
    Also the once a month home delivery for pets, bread and essentials, combined with the weekly veg box so there is only milk, fruit, and wine/fags on the co-op drop in list so I ordered a case of wine, and a months worth of tobacco to reduce the risk of impulse buys. Wine n fags come out of DH's budget, but I buy other stuff when I am in so this should help.

    I still have a freezer full of chickens :o

    First spend of June of £32.45. I went to Mr T's this morning and then to Mr S's this afternoon.

    I received a £4 off a £20 shop mailing last week from Sainsburys but I didn't think I would spend £20 so left it at home ..... I spent £23 but the cashier said to bring my coupon in next time and they would give me the £4 back. :D

    We are now well stocked up, the fridge, freezer and cupboards are all fit to bursting !
