That list looks great Kezlou, nice and easy to order online

Thanks smlsave, really appreciate you looking at it.
Sorry to pick your brain, but do you think i change to anything at all.
Say the font, bigger/smaller?Do you think it should have a different colour for each week? etc

Its okay if you don't want too

Hiya All,

Just de lurking to add my two pennorth, I would be happy to use Kilner jars for some of the soups and pastas (in the fridge) and most people cooking for a family can find a willing helper, (I can't keep my grandaughter out of the kitchen if I'm cooking) so maybe SSShirl could ask her helper to prep veg etc.
hth,
going back into lurkdom again

Umm, just noticed that

500gASDA Pig Liver by Weight (100g) is missing its X

but that's all really it all looks good

I had a play with Asda's website as they have an 'search for list' function. It doesn't work with the list as if (if you just copy and paste) but it does when simplified: -

Butternut Squash
Smartprice Brown Onions
White Potatoes
Carrots
Smartprice Oranges
Smartprice Lemons
Bramley Cooking Apples
Smartprice Whole Medium Chicken
Smartprice Smoked Cooking Bacon Pieces


which then makes online shopping that bit quicker - just thought that might be worth mentioning?

Maybe like having a simple list for cut and pasting near the bottom for us lazy people

Weezl - if you can let me know what keywords you are interested in and what your anchor text preferences are, I can write you a post about the new site on my blog with appropriate links.

Thanks for smlsave, will change it now.

Hmm right i'll take off the asda bits and leave it as smartprice. Seems to be the best way to do it.
That way people can subsitute asda smartprice for sainsburys basics etc.

thanks again:D x
