    Sally - do you get your mince from the butchers? Mine does locally produced lean steak mince for the same price as the value pack in a supermarket.....I buy £5 worth and then bag it in the freezer in 8 small portions - bulked out with veg and mixed beans etc it goes a long way.

    Tesco have just sent me a "you've not ordered for a while have £7.50 off a £75 shop" voucher......going to get creative and do a big shop of all the boring stuff to last the month and then just stock up on the fresh bits as and when....can't say no to code like that but don't spend £75 a week!

    And no Claire - crochet needs 2 hands, one to hold the hook and one to wrap the wool. Worth a go tho if you've got some wool and can pick up a hook from somewhere - plenty of online tutorials.

    claire, if DH keeps complaning, give HIM the shopping list, AND the budget and tell him to do any better. Then he might shut his trap up .

    beanie, it's 23 hours to go (and yes I am counting)

  • Glad to hear you're feeling groovy today Elfen.

    I've got a craving for meatballs now! :mad:

    My OH has sent me a text to say he's not well and he wants hugs. Shame my arms aren't long enough to reach him over in Afgan.

    With the amount of food you've listed ????

    I agree with Elfen, if he thinks he could do better, let him go for it
