how did you get on with ur challenge? there are 4/5 of us depending who's in and 3 teenagers always want seconds!! I new to this and need some good ideas for cheap, filling and exciting (can u have all 3 of those together?)meals and am fed up with going round the supermarket and having not much in there but it always costs £50!!!0

I aim for £200 - now for 3 of us. I have to be honest & say I don't always make it, but it is do-able.
so.... now the maths..... £200 divide by 3, times 5 equals £333.33
Mind you that is for everything - not just food.0 -
Costco also take people who work in local government , including teachers I think and NHS.
I don't think that Makro is very cheap except on some of their offers and electricals.0
