    Pretani Thanking you!!:)

    happymummy24-7 bento boxes, like compartmentalised lunchboxes? are they expensive?

    I would spend around £125 per week in the supermarket, and then a further £20 on milk its 99p atm in the local village shop;) my children eat like adults male adults......not one of them are overweight and they are all pretty active so im happy enough (they eat healthily not much rubbish IYSWIM I buy a pack of kitkats once a week!!) so im thinking if I take £150/200 with me I should be able to stock up for a good 6 months? Would this be right?
    Oh do they sell flour? I make my own bread!

    It sounds like the big bags of rice in Camseng will suit your needs;)

    £150-200 should get you plenty of stuff.

    That's something I don't know. You could ring both stores before hand. ;) they might sell big bags of it.

    I will do:)

    I am hoping to save money in the long run....what is the saying you have to speculate to accumulate??

    Now toilet rolls.........this bulk buying is getting addictive, although I dont want to end up like that company who bought oil a year ago thinking the price was gonna go up and up instead of coming down!! Not that toilet roll is going to go up in price.............that much but its always something we run out of!!
