Cheapest place to buy Almond milk
Is there anywhere cheap to buy unsweetened almond milk? Cheapest I can see online is £1.39 for Blue Diamond at Asda. Is there anywhere that sells it in bulk, or any shops that do own brand that's cheaper? Been searching but not much joy it seems.
Coke Zero - Is it better than normal fizzy drinks?

At Last - Dine in for £10
I'd begun to think that M & S had given these up - it seems like ages since they've done one. Can't do a link, it's beyond my feeble capabilities, but I thought I'd give a 'heads up'.
Almost £2 for cauliflower!!!
I am quite surprised that no-one has mentioned this. Yes I know the weather has not been the best for British produce. But charging £1.95 (Sain) and £1.98 (Tes) for a standard size cauli is taking the p**s. Asda got theirs at £1.38 and I bought a HUGE one there a few weeks ago for 50p. Aldi have theirs for just over £1 I…

Do you shop online, at different shops or at one shop?

I've made quite a few changes over the last few weeks which are: Heating on only for 1 hour morning whilst children are getting washed,dressed and eating breakfast and 1 hour evening for bath and bedtime.

Take belly pork for example, now endorsed by celebrity chefs the humble belly pork used to be a really cheap, almost throwaway cut of meat and you could pick up a pack of belly slices for just over £1 or a…

Therefore, does anyone know of a site that can tell me, each week, what is cheap by food group for example. I did my menu planning last week and then when…
