I've converted my extravagant sis to MSE!!!!!

Options
:j Really pleased as my sister who usually spends loads on her food shopping for her and her hubby, has actually bought the old style book!:eek:
She is very extravagany when it comes to treating herself, but when I showed her Martin's book when she was visiting us at Xmas, she really took an interest.(apart from the bit about keeping onions in your tights!!!???):rotfl:
She went to Sainsburys and spent £10 less than usual on her weekly shop which is a major step for her, our Mum is amazed!!!:rotfl:
Has anyone else managed to convert friends or family after Xmas?:rolleyes:
Sept. grocery challenge = £500 (221.60 so far!;))
