    Are you going to take things back? Do you have a Lidl near you? They do very cheap fruit and veg to bulk out the chicken wings and tex mex stuff.

    The list sounds like the table of horrors on 'You are what you eat'. Give him as much of the unhealthy sweet stuff as he can manage and he might not ever miss it again.

    You could also make up the some of the sauces then have them with jacket potatoes rather than adding meat, which might get even more expensive. Eg you could make a vegetarian bolognese and have that with a jacket potato - filing and cheap (well, cheaper than with meat).

    On a lighter note, maybe drink all 24 cans of fosters, then you might not feeling like eating for a few days anyway!

    Lidl is so much cheaper than Morrisons. Check your local market prices though. Sorry just noticed one of the things your OH bought was 6 swiss rolls........why? :confused: Poor you, i think I would have gone mad.

    I think I'd want to murder him too. Where does he think all the meals come from that you cook if you don't have the raw ingredients

    You could turn into a cannibal and eat him. :confused:

    He will be stuffed on sweets and crisps.:rotfl:

    Send him out to find a sack (25kg) of potatoes (£5-6)
    go to Lidls or where ever & get some veggies (£2-3)
    maybe get some cheese too (£3 big block)x2
    Tins of Pilchards(or other) in Tom sauce (60p?)
    minced meat ie beef ?
    a chicken?
    big bag frozen sausages?
    more pasta? you dont say how much you have
    cheap tins of toms & beans...
    more eggs

    then you can bulk out with baked pots & pasta meals etc
    I would do maybe half a cauli as cauli cheese
    my pilchard bake - reciepe to follow -pm me!
    spag bol
    mince & mash (with peas?)or cottage pie
    leak & potato pie
    saus egg & chips
    Rubber Chicken - search the site
    Bangers & mash...

    add to above suggestions & repeat (((hugs)))
    I would leave him to survive on that shopping tooo - theres only 5 ready meals there! - do send him again tho just go too & dont let him to the till until you have checked - he has to learn how to shop sometime!
    My bro in law used to offer to do 'jobs' to help & then do them badly so he wouldnt be asked to do it again!:eek:
