    Yes just another middle class ooh what fun that frisson of excitement from saving a few quid rubbing shoulders with the great unwashed, the morbidly obease and tracksuited clientele of a discount store. i bet she's straight down M&S or Waitrose with the money she gets paid from writing the article :money:

    I don't understand how she can say she's been spending £160 on food shopping and then in the same sentence say "we've stopped buying drink and there are no treats for the children any more" - surely £160 of shopping must be barely anything *other* than treats :eek:


    good article though, thanks for sharing it :)

    I do about £110 for 3. No treats as such.

    A lot of fruit, veg & salad. But no wine other than the odd bit for cooking & a couple of multipacks of gum for DH.

    I spend over £20 before I've left the fruit & veg section, easily.
