in Old style MoneySaving
I am a newbie on here,

Today I went to Mr Tesco and did a shop armed with a menu list and shopping list..... I bought food, including meat to last a month, apart from fresh fruit and veg, which I will stock up with at a later date and all for £51. Brilliant.

I have been reading the various threads on this site and I am looking forward to trying some of the super recipies I have seen
Was 13st 8 lbs,Now 12st 11 Lost 10 1/4lbs since I started on my diet.

    It's a great feeling when you use up food in the cupboards and fridge and are able to spend a lot less on your food shopping.

    I've been using up things I already have in and have really cut back on the amount I spend. My cupboards also look a lot tidier!:j
