Hi we are desperatley trying to revamp our finances & shopping bills etc. I started at end of march by doing an online shop , then filled up freezers from farmfoods & lidls in thehope that it will stop me "popping " to shops to buy odds& ends & then spending a fortune !. i have still popped to asda couple of times for things i forgot to buy , but i have kept allmy receipts so would like to try & use a REALLY SIMPLE spreadsheet type thingy that i can add ALL of my receipts / buys to try & see if this is working & perhaps where else i can cut down .Does anyone have a foolproof / idiot guide to one that i can have - please ??. Also what does everyone else spend monthly ? , i'm ashamed sometimes when i see the amount of asda shops that come up on my statement . Any help , advice would be really appreciated , thanks

No real advice... we can't seem to pull it together after a forced vacation last summer... family wedding. Bills get paid, just can't seem to figure out actual food costs... and he's a Chef. Hmm Anyhow, Suze Orman who is on Oprah a lot, is very good and you might find something there.
