    Oooo yummy. My monkeys love pasta, tuna and sweetcorn or pasta, ham and pea, pea, peas with cheesy sauce. Filling, fuss free and fairly cheap:)

    Please could we have this list at the start of the thread - it's very useful to know if something is a bargain or not.

    My contribution
    £3 - wine
    .60p for 100g of cheese or £6 per kg - very hard to get this
    £1 for 4 pints milk

    Thanks for this. Will check it out on Thursday.

    My guide prices...

    10p a wash but not fussy on what we use
    25p a toilet roll
    £1 for a bottle of Pepsi max
    £1 for toothpaste (branded)
    20p or less for lunchbox items (they are currently still having nutri grain bars)
    20p a bag of crisps
    £1 for spray cleaner
    £1 for butter
    £1 for a jar of sauce
    50p per kitchen roll


    Although reading you guys, I think I should lower my prices!
