i have discovered Lidl and Aldi. Wouldn't say i could do a weeks shopping there but they have some excellent bargains like half price fruit and veg give it a go. In my situation every penny counts and it certainly helps.

On top of all the Savings that we have made, I am finally getting a pay review in my job which should go up to nearly £1100 at least!!! So that will bring in some more money for us.

I too have started to get my fruit and veg from Aldi, so much cheaper then Tesco and where i live they are right next door to each other so i have no excuse.

I havent brought Martins book as yet maybe the first month I pay my dmp i will treat myself to it.

Donna and Dan - Youve some so far in such a short space of time - well done to both of you and keep it up I love to read inspriing stories.

What a great start to 2006 donna-dan !

Have you ever considered growing your own veg? Makes it even cheaper than Lidl/Aldi and gives you a hobby that's (almost) free in to the bargain.

Keep up the good work!! :T

Dan would like to - but the Garden isn't really big enough! We do go to lidl's every now and again, but like davek1 said wouldn't be able to do weekly shopping - it is v. good for dishwasher tabs etc.

Well done Donna and Dan. Its good that you have started so young and following lots of advice on here you will not end up in debt in your 30s or 40s. One tip for , cut your dishwasher tabs in half and just use half in each load. I do this all the time now and I don't have to buy them as often.
