weekly shop

Lady h can you get internet deliveries that would save you even more, and you tend to only buy what you need rather than see stuff on the shelves and buy. I know you live out a bit so maybe they dont deliver.

I have £130 a month for food, toiletries and housekeeping for me and 2 dogs.

Ridiculous!

Our Food & Housekeeping budget is £300 for the 2 of us but out of that we always have to allow money for Hubbys work for site expense parking etc so we end up having £50 per week and he has £50 every 2 weeks for his work (although we do get most of it back)

We find the best way to stick to that bugdget is to just put stuff on alist during the week when we are running very low to having just run out and then only buying what is on the list.

Until my IVA is accepted My wife and I are barely scraping through on £25 per week. We've done this for about a year now and believe me its a nightmare I've come close to cancelling Broadband if it wasn't for the penalty if I did. In the last year my fuel costs have risen 45%, petrol has risen 12% but my pension remains the same and my wife's salary for her part time job has dropped by 10%. Int life grand LOL.

We have an allowance of £350.00 per month for just my husband and I and our cat. This seems quite high compared to some others. We can usually afford a couple bottles of cheap wine out of this. I normally work out the meals we are going to have for the next fortnight and then plan my shopping list around that. Anything left over is usually spent on petrol as that is so much more expensive each month now.

That's the same as I've got Debbie, although I was bankrupt rather than in an IVA.
