    How about ready meal baked potato with the grated cheese already added? Couldn't believe that when I first saw it.

    But the one with the carrot and swede in is really nice aswell, hmmm yes I used to buy that too! Still haven't got the amounts quite right with that one, have been trying but my son said doesn't taste the same as MrTs

    Another one - Aunty Bessie has now gone from my life completely. While I miss the convenience of having a good old Aunty to save the day, I'm sure she is off helping someone else

    Don't know if anyone else wants to try this, but without the credit card/ cataloue payments and interest I worked out what those things I do without are saving me minimum.

    It comes to £400 a month, oh my god!

    Just shows what a difference it can make! So over the year that is at £4800least! This is without my grocery savings which so far are about £400 per month!
