    Excuse me being ignorant Kerri but does Mr T stand for Tesc0 and Mr A stand for A$da etc?? (or are there shops called Mr T that I don't know about ;)). (This is me being really thick!!)

    Ooh naming our shops......erm, this is hard, our house is on a corner so can i be 'Lynn's Corner Shop' please.

    Although my stash isnt doing well yet, ive been to both our local 1id1's first thing 3 days running to get some of the beans and they havent had any, Ive got 2x4 packs still from Mr S which were on offer a couple of weeks ago and two fabric conditioners so have started my stash with that

    Im going to join the grocery challenge for Feb, hopefully this will all help me stick to a budget :)

    Can I ask why supermarket names are in code?

    I believe it's because if we use the full name all the posts on MSE can turn up in search engines such as G00gle, which makes it a lot harder for people to find what they're actually looking for.

    Been trying to think of a store name, and all I can come up with is NETSA

    This is short for "Nowhere Else To Store Anything", which seems appropriate as I'm using the challenge to use up what I've already got rather than to build up a stockpile ;)
