Hiya
Yep. Bread n milk included. I also get through a LOT of milk. We get the 4 pints of full fat and water it down 50/50. Tastes like semi skimmed which the family haven't complained about . we still get through 3 to 4 x 4 pint bottles a week before diluting.

I haven't brought full price bread for years. My loaves never cost more than 15p. I buy in the evenings when they are marked down and will bulk buy when they are priced 15p or under and freeze them. I also make chapatis by hand as they cost pence to make and occasionally make herby cheese bread for soups or for buffet spreads.

I haven't updated my signature yet from yesterday's shopping. I got me some butter;)

£30 seems extreme for an average size family but with help from these threads, it is achievable but requires massive discipline.

I don't think the family are missing out on goodies or nutrition. They just have to get used to me going on mad sprees when a shopportunity arises

might try something like this maybe start at £50 and see how it goes, off to a good start though, dont need butter, beans pie filling etc etc etc thanls to all the deals that have been mentioned on this fab site!

Get yerself over to the old style moneysaving thread and have a look at the grocery challenge threads.

Well, my fridge is sparkling and my signature is updated. The OH and the sprogs are going camping tomorrow for 4 days which means I can eat what I want with no one hankering for meat and junk food. I can forage away to my hearts content too. :j
Unless there is a mighty glitch, I shouldn't have to hit the shops now!!!

Give the GC a whirl. Keep track of spends in your signature. I used to keep a receipt book but I find it much easier to update the signature after a spend instead. :A:)

We have a B****** among us read this with regards to the Heniz coupon.

Unfortunately that's the power of t'interweb. I enjoy a good Elite awayday as much as the next woman, but doing it on the T facebook page is only going to raise the profile of this thread. I was also surprised to see one or two on there apparently using their real facebook accounts.

Morning all!
