    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Morning All
    In other news, I am meal planning so I can try for my first sub-£60 food shop tomorrow, anyone have any suggestions for yummy meals we could try??

    I always use my roast dinner as the basis for 3 or 4 meals, so i.e. if its roast lamb, my weeks plan looks like this:

    -Roast lamb, and all the trimmings.
    -Lamb and veg curry (with lentils)
    -Lamb with greek greens and butter beans in tomato sauce
    -Scotch Broth

    Then i might have bubble and squeak with something to use up the greens and potatoes.
    And I probably would have bought too many mushrooms for the curry (on purpose) and have mushroom risotto.
    Then some fish something or other.

    *Dot aware that her 5 week rotation of meal plans may be a bit wintery..and plans to review soon*
