    I'd like to change my April budget to £500 as the children have 2 weeks off this month for the easter holidays and so I will probably be going through much more food and drinks while they are home

    Please could you put me down for £140 this month. This is much less than usual since it's just going to be me for most meals, since my OH is going back to uni to sit his finals so won't be here during the week :'( But I need enough to cook him yummy treats when he comes home.

    advice please....i have started to collect nectar points online so thought ide look into having sainsburys delivered instead of asda.
    anyone else order from them? would you recomend?
    I have a £15 off my first over over £60

    I like Sainsburys. They've given me a free delivery pass, and vouchers every couple of months. If you go through Nectar E-shops first you get 50 bonus points per online shop as well.

    I've just placed an order with them to come Thursday, which will be my first April shop :)

    Can you believe this overcharged by £450 and didn't notice?
