Monthly food bill - how much for 1?

hi- im a non driver too, and its much harder to do economical shopping (in my opinion) when you have to cart everything home on the bus. Saying that, I still only spend about £20-25 per week.
If you have a cat I would strongly recommend pet insurance - I know you've probably heard it all before, but I worked in a vets for 8 years, and have had numerous pets, and i really believe that NOT having pet insurance is false economy- you're 3 times more likely to claim for your pet, than for your car or house!!

Sorry to rant on!!

That's good then because I got insurance for my little kitty when he was 8 weeks old... so far he's managed to stay in one piece!!

I guess I'll see how I go with the shopping, my slow cooker is amazing for making loads of food in one go so as long as I have a freezer I should be ok...

Hi MissMuppet,

I'm sorry to hear that you have split up, but I hope it will be a whole new start for you. While searching for something else today I came across this old thread and thought it might be helpful to you. Moneysaving Meals for one

Good luck with finding somewhere new to live.

I get fresh vegetables delivered each week, slightly more expensive than the supermarket, but then I don't have to go more than once a month, can get fresh stuff at a smaller shop near the hosue. Not going to a big supermarket often is my way of avoiding impulse buying of things that 'look nice'. Better self control is probably the best solution, but i'm trying!

Really? I'm at the wrong bus stop then! Perhaps I'm on one of those rural routes that's been axed but no-one told me?!?!?
