As I said on this post, I have a Very Big Project in mind which I won't be telling you about for some considerable time. It is going to take quite a bit of financial planning so at the moment I am just trying to save, save, save. I'm getting back on this blog to make myself more accountable!
I decided that my food budget for 2022 would be £1825. I know that looks an odd number but it is actually £5 per day averaged through the year. Experience has taught me that I spend more on food in October, November and December so it's important to save now. My average daily spend was
January £3.65
February £4.42
March £4.98
April. £4.69
May £4.17
June £4.07
July £4.10
August £4.21
Just for comparison, my average daily spend in 2021 was £6.22 so I think I will give myself a gold star so far this year. However, I know I will spend more money on food around Christmas so I need to be careful now.
Good luck with your goal. It seems a sensible way to set a Target.
ReplyDeleteSounds exciting! Having a goal in mind helps to make the work in saving worth the while.
