    Its tit bits not meant for cooking. its like eating normal salted peanuts or cheek peas or hazelnuts. But this is healthy. Had this when I was on holiday & it so happen me T starts selling world food. So me got 1 packet to eat whilst watching TV instead of eating pop corns.

    Let him help you in the kitchen ie : cooking that way he thinks that he cooks his own meal & he will eat it.

    Make it like he is doing all the cooking and you are the sous chef. What does he like to eat?

    cakes, fish fingers, chips, beans, he loooooooooooooves beans, mash and gravy, fishpie, sometimes lasagne, beans on toast, cheese on toast, omelettes, chicken, chocolate!

    have you looked at the Up your income board?

    most of us do surveys but they pay in vouchers, some in cash, and it all takes time, but we use the vouchers for helping with food shopping, clothes shopping, treats, days out, etc.

    come and have a look at the make £10 a day thread, lots of ideas there.


    have you tried doing more at home like cooking from scratch, freezing extra portions, so you do not have to spend so much money on food.

    have you checked out old style forums? http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=33

    thanks I now joined using your link. Me got 45points how many points do I need to collect to get the £5 amazon? and what am I supposed to do with their link? do they send out survey? is it like pinecone? except they pay in amazon voucher.

    you need to register for surveys, they send out occasional ones. worth points.
