Last month's today?
Hi, everyone!
Could anyone tell me if "Last month's today" is correct in grammar? If I want to say something happened on the same day(as today) in last month, what is the proper way of saying it.
I hope you guys get what I mean here
Thanks in advance!

There is no common term for this in English.
You'd need to spell it out:
"It happened on today's date last month." This might still confuse your listeners. Since you know what date it is, you could say "It happened on the 24th last month too" "last" is emphasised in tone.

What about : The same day last month

Re: Last month's today?
" A month ago today."
or
"It's a month today since she died."
"A month ago on Thursday."
"A month ago last Tuesday."
I think Raymott took it you meant, if today is the 24th July, how do you say, 'a month ago on the 24th June', as opposed to exactly '4 weeks ago'.

I did, because that's what he wrote. 
But I see your point.

something happened on the same day(as today) in last month
I read it as 'day', not 'date'
