    I've done Tesco - slightly over budget at £74, but I have bought more "meal" stuff than I expected, so it should last for about 10 days or so, which is fine.

    The lurgy is still about, but is not causing too many problems - its "only a cold" after all!

    Sorry SH, I very nearly abused you ... pressed wrong button . The family on the programme this week spent £50 per week on .........puddings:eek::eek::eek:.

    I wish they would get some real people on who have only got £50 to last them 3 weeks:rotfl:.

    The next family the are featuring already make my blood boil - they currently throw away about £7k worth of food - that is my annual income for flips sake!

    Okay these families have never had to budget before and so they are having to learn what we all learnt a while back but throwing away a third of your food and almost seeming proud of it :mad:
