Couscous or Rice with mango, almonds/ cashews, sultanas and turkey - sounds fine to me (well, it works with chicken, so should with turkey) - add a little moroccan spice mix to the mix if you have any, or a weeny bit of curry powder.

Small spend of £5.49 today for me at the co op - 2 warburtons bread, potatoes, 3 leeks, bananas & 12 Thorntons brownies! Decided not to go to Sainsburys for the wine offer. Not feeling too great today & also I have some wine here already.

Hallo,

Am new on here and I have just discovered this thread. Could I join please as we always overspend on food and I could do with a challenge to cut down. Up to now we spent about £400 - £500 per month on food for two of us:eek:.

Would like to cut this down to £300 to start with.

Hi All

I would like to Re-join this challenge. The supermarkets are hiking their prices so high that my budget no longer works.

Please put me down for £300

This should be fun
