We have a relatively good income of approx 33k between us. Our outgoings are quite low (Our biggest outgoing is approx £357 for nursery fees and the next is our mortgage which is only £250 a month). We seem to spend a fortune on foodstuffs.
We have spent £100 in the last 2 weeks alone (£70ish on a shop and £30ish on bits and fresh stuff).
We have just had our tax credits reassessed and we are lucky enough that our income has increased approx 3k from last year and as such our tax credits have been reduced and we get £93 less a month.
This got me to thinking about budgetting. There are 3 of us - me, dh and ds (21m). DS has a milk allergy so we have to buy soya milk and yoghurts and some free from items to ensure his diet is catered for. Otherwise we just look for foodstuff that just doesn't contain milk. He is still in nappies - we get Asda nappies 120 for £10.
We just seem to be spending lots here and there and it's all adding up.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
AIBU?
to ask how you budget - need to stop spending extra money!
