Hi MNers, namechanged for this.
Due to covid our circumstances have changed and we've had to make a strict budget. After all bills are paid, we have around £200 a week for food and everything else. I know that's a lot, but it's a lot less than we're used to. So I'm hoping for some advice and suggestions on how to really make it last.
Petrol is about £20 a week and food for the 4 of us is usually around £80-100. I'm worried about the expensive times like when car service is due, or school uniforms- I've just had to buy it all on a credit card which I hate doing as we have debt and I hate adding to it. There's pocket money for the kids, birthdays coming up then Christmas too, MOT due in Jan.
(I've shopped around and got all bills down to the cheapest. I can't make any further savings there.)
Please don't flame me 
I KNOW people are living on much less and I'm very fortunate. I count my lucky stars that we have what we do, I promise, I'm not complaining. Just asking for some advice and tips.
