    i do budget, maybe you have some tips for us all regarding budgeting, do you have much experience of feeding a family of 5 on a budget?

    tip#1: try not to rely on scams/submitting vouchers for food you have not bought to satisfy the basic food and living requirements for your family; yes times are tough for all of us, not just you, so some changes have to be made to lifestyle, whether of your own volition or not (as the case is here with coupon acceptance)...

    tip#2: cut back on the Spanish holidays
    we are a family of 5 and have been to spain lots of times we have only ever been asked for 2 passports mine and my husbands,but they just usually ask for one, i would do it i dont think the hotel would be bothered how old your little one is,kids eat so little when they are on holiday, i have a hard time getting my 5 year old to eat from the buffet, she usually ends up with chips, pasta, fruit and ice cream, not all on the same plate i might add! dont worry and have a great time :beer:

    Here we go in black and white

    "It would not give a reason for what it described as an "internal decision".
    However sources close to the brand said Tesco's move was connected with comments made by MoneySavingExpert's Martin Lewis on GMTV commenting on the savings to be made using coupons.

    According to The Sun last week, on October 1 hundreds of customers turned up at Tesco stores in West Bromwich, Willenhall and Dudley with the vouchers after printing them off of the internet.
    Tesco is believed to be launching an inquiry into the incident and has denied it had an impact on its decision to switch coupon policy."
