Thought I would try to cut eating costs.

the MSE way, find the nearest Aldi/Lidl/Netto. Make your own grub, carry it around with you. :rotfl:

Better still, get Doc to courier you up dinner every day

Definitely an Aldi in Newquay as used it last summer for keeping food costs down on hols.

Just been to Asda for a few bits and on the way out decided to do a bit of wombling. Well, talk about embarrass myself – I spotted a long receipt which had blown down the side of a steep bank so undeterred I went after it. The problem was that after all the rain it was very slippery and I couldn’t get back up, every time I tried I just slid back down getting muddier and muddier! :eek: Everyone was looking at me until eventually a kind gentleman offered a helping hand. I was sooooooo embarrassed.

I made my way back to the car, still clutching the receipt, and cleaned myself up as best I could. Once home I inputted the receipt and low and behold a big fat zero! Not sure I will be wombling again for a bit.

Thanks Aesop and shopndrop good idea about aldi etc. Its a travelodge so only got a kettle although in the past when went to Alton Towers we took plates and cutlery so could get take away as cheaper than eating in restaurants or buy a cooked chicken from a supermarket and just get salad or chips(not very weight watchers thou). We can't take too much as going by train not car where you could throw all sorts of thing in to help i.e case of Buds for DH:rotfl:

Farmville & Blue what you going to do tonight just noticed forum down at 1am:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

My list for 2 days or more at a travelodge when going the mse way;)

1 x Electric Coolbox
1 Toaster
1 x Omlette maker (latest find, couple of months ago on offer in Aldi £14.99 and fab as no smoke) like this http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/390392295287?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar
1 x Slow cooker (small argos value)

Picnic Rucksack with glasses, cutlery, plates and chopping board in it

The odd bottle of wine and case of Blue wkd:cool:

We then don't bother with meals out unless there is a yates free burger and chips or bacon butty. That way our drink and meal costs are virtually nothing.
Have you checked for Yates wine lodges in the area and any free food for joining?

Not happy about the forums down, me and Farmville are gonna have to go shopping or something or maybe do some tidying/ironing:eek::eek::eek:

We often get take out when we are on jobs.Usually find that places have some form of plastic cutlery and eat out the containers.
Alternatively if you go away regularly its worth checking the pound store for camping stuff.I have a really tiny multi cutlery tool i keep in my work bag for such occasions
