I agree with attention seeker1 the family did really well and I congratulate them for cutting back even more
:think: Maybe they have joined this board?

The chocolate brownie biscuits did look really good.

I couldn't believe how much next week's appeared to be throwing away! Will be interesting to watch

Fab kitchen btw, how many ovens ???

Quick question about i-player. Can you just watch the last five/ten minutes of a programme? I missed the ending.

That's £20 of meat for three meals for five people.

much better than last week, really liked the way the whole family got involved and actually recipes I could use, they still had a huge budget compared to mine but some good ideas

I really enjoyed this one, the family were great and it was good to to see them getting involved as a family, and they reduced their budget even further after the prog :T

not sure I'll watch next week's, I already got annoyed just watching the blokey saying he loves his waste disposal

I watched it again tonight and thought how nice to see a family that seemed to be taking on board the advice they were given.Some of the recipes were not to my taste. Mussels I just can't stomach, they look far too much like snails to me. But the beef looked very nice, but I don't think I would fancy it with pasta but thats just my preferance.Didn't seem to be much in the way of veggies apart from various onions. The children were very good and were at least willing to try something different ,the little boy was great and the little girl had a very appealing little smile.Dad and Mum seemed to be really keen to learn and get the children involved .I think Twinks cookies seem a lot easier and a darned sight cheaper as well. Considering they liked pudding a lot of money seemd wasted on ready made puds when a nice creamy rice pud or apple pie would not cost a lot.Wuth the blackberry season almost here crumbles could replace the shop bought puds at half the price.Excellant programme though,it seems to improve every week
