Feeding a Family of 4 - Realistic budget

Banked my £400 from last month and started again for March (i'm keeping all receipts this month so that I can see how much I spend). Its hubby's birthday this week, we are taking him to Cafe Rouge as I converted my Tesco points and have £50 vouchers to spend. He's also having a bit of a do at home, but we are doing this "Mexican style" with a slow cooker full of Chilli and tons of potato wedges. The £400 we saved last month wasn't all food saving, but I had identified it as an area where we could make enormous savings. I cannot believe how much we did cut back last month - and I havn't started being frugal yet! The kids have commented that the meals are nicer too. Like Mrs Cupier, I have been brushing up on my school girl cookery lessons and being far more inventive with leftovers.0
