  • Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but could someone point me in the direction of the "feed your family for £100 per month" thread.

    I'm useless at shopping and seem to spend £80 - £100 per week on food for just two of us and I really need some help to get this down and plan better.

    Thanks
  • I can't help I'm afraid Magical - sounds like an Old Style thread to me though.

    5/5 so far - boring old cheese sandwiches and a cup a soup today :(

  • Hi Magical, is this what you're talking about?:

    (am I allowed to post that link?)

    It says: "Cheap Family Recipes team is a non-profit community of volunteers who met on a moneysaving forum."

    I'm having microwave "haggis neeps and tatties" today, my 2nd microwave meal of the week (and I usually only have 1 as a last resort every couple of months!). I need to get more organised, will make some soup for the freezer tomorrow :)
