£70 budget for a family of 5... Is this doable?
Comments

I am glad I found this thread - family of five with the same budget and that's why I came on here!
Unfortunately for me, where I live there's only a small co-op and a petrol station SPAR. We only budget for two trips a month to the town with the big supermarket, because the cost of petrol more than eats up the savings of shopping at Aldi!
There are a lot of really good ideas in here - Some of it basic stuff I'd just forgotten about.
I'm going to have to do a lot more baking and making flapjacks, etc. I'm a bit leery of it because I try to avoid eating any sugar, myself. I can ignore cheap custard creams in the cupboard, but not freshly baked cakes and cookies!:beer:0
