I think that it would be worth going to Aldi maybe every 3 to 4 weeks and stocking up on the staples.I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

Will try it this week and see how I get on, if it works out cheaper than I will possibly work something out like that beanie ... I've tried lidl before but never been really impressed with it tbh so not sure about aldi, nothing to loose though0

Go and stock up on tinned toms - whole or chopped. They are superb :T. Really thick, juice is more like a passata than juice.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

I didn't know this ... Which rough bit ? Could u pm me ? I could go and do it after work if it wasn't far0 -
Loving the fact you don't know where the rough bit is or does that mean you think there are many?Mortgage OP 2025 £6750/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

I thought it was a snobby place ... As seen by the huge amount of weirdos walking their dogs at 3 am ... Why do they do that btw ?
Although truth to tell where I work is meant to be one of the snobbiest, but the stories I could tell you would make your hair curl lol0
