Have a look at some of the "feed your family for £xx" groups on Facebook. Or I can recommend Cardiff Mums Aldi 5 meals to feed 4 for £25. Xx
After all bills are paid & £800 for food is separate for the month. We have £1275.90 left for the month.
I'm still on maternity leave but with my husbands pay we have £1600 left, that's not including food though. Maybe £350-£450 on food and petrol
I’ve dropped my hours to part time as i would be worse off if i had to pay full time childcare even with the 15 hours free. So we have about £1000 spare. That’s after all bills, food and petrol for the month for two cars. Going to see if we can make it work as this is the first month.
We both work full time so it'll be a considerable difference. Also is your partner on minimum wage? Do you get any uc?
