A journey of a 1000 miles must begin with single footstep....

Hotel Chocolat is amazing - my secretary went there last week and spent £65!!!!!!!!!!! Luckily, I am not that much of a choclate fan, a little piece now and again and I'm happy.

I dont shop in Tesco, I always found it very expensive (and would also end up buying clothes/underwear etc for the kids that they didnt need! I find Sainsburys more reasonably priced, and whilst I think the quality is as good as Tesco there is perhaps a little less selection, which can only be a good thing for me. BF shops at Watirose or M&S, both of which I find ridiculously expensive - week before last we paid £18 for a piece of steak! (lovely, but really? £18? The old EB69 barely batted an eyelid - new EB69 would choke!)

Hi GreenNinja

I am a lazy cook! I mostly buy a big chicken for a roast dinner, then as there is only me and my OH I can get another two meals out of this, I just use jars of curry etc. Also get a lot of value brands!

Surprised that some find sainsburys cheaper than tesco..............I shop at sainsburys because there is no tesco near me and people tell me it is much more expensive. So now I am happy!

Woowoo

I'm still waiting for some of my Christmas Shopping spending to come out of my account, some if it has registered as spent, but not yet taken and some isn't showing at all yet.

Very annoying, good job I know to the penny what I've spent or I would be busy sending what I thought was spare to Lloyds! I am in fact £34.80 short, but I seen some bargains I didn't want to miss out on, so will have to magic this from somewhere over the next couple of weeks!

Perhaps its because my local Tescos is one of the Superstores and sells absolutely everything whereas my Sainsbury is only little and I can whip round in an half an hour! I am pretty sure my online shopping is cheaper too though, or maybe I just dont dilly dally around their online shop any more than I do in their aisles!
