    We'll I've decided click and collect at asd* is the way forward- I sat and planned our meals for the week on Sunday night then I pre ordered the shop and only ordered exactly what we needed - collected it today straight after work - it was free to collect! Came home unpacked it and all I did was click a few buttons, and I've saved myself a fortune-I'd usually have spent 70/80 at least on food shop each week (and waste a lot of it!) but spent only half my weekly budget!

    Feeling positive!!!!
