Help with shopping on a budget needed

Hello again everyone, After looking around this site, I think one of the areas that needs cutting back is food shopping.
For some reason I always seem to spend too much, the trouble is I can't resist a bogof. And seem to have a major panic attack when stocks begin to run low. I am spending in around 300 per month for 4 of us. I would love some tips on how to shop more wisely.:eek:

£300 could be reduced a lot. I spend £90 for myself , teen daughter plus two picky cats. I would agree that your best bet is the old style boards which discuss all the details of keeping your household budget down and eating well.0

Look for the things you DO use and make a list so you know where to head....and then stick to it.
