£580 on food a month?! I would expect to be able to do it on £160 a month - depending on what you're feeding to your daughter. Do you or husband cook?

Thanks for the back-up guys, I honestly thought she was serious about the food bill being only £160, but after reading other posts ViolaLass has commented on recently, she has no kids at all and reckons she can save £15000 within a year on a joint income of £40k....
Perhaps she should have her own site as to how to do these things, saving £15k in 18 months, how to feed a family on £160 p.m....... wise words but nada to back it up with......
It's so nice to see people are batting on my side, makes a change from all the bad things thats happened recently.... you've really cheered me up folks.... thanks !!0 -
