I am hoping one of you super people can help me. DP has been asked to carry out a task for evening class and i have to say i am stumped, they need to work out an average food budget for a low income family of 4. i have helped by going through all of the food groups and comparing prices on supermarkets to come up with the lowest value, but this has been returned as he has not include shopping groups and clubs to be honest i dont even know what these are or the benefits. can anyone please help point me in the right direction. thank you
