    I go to Farmfoods specially for the Nicky loo rolls (£4 for 9).


    I include all toiletries in the groceries too but I make an exception for things from a cosmetic counter.


    I think you get 18 loo rolls for £4 at Farmfoods.

    If you wanted to linda, I'm sure you could cut your bill. £60-£80 for two for effectively breakfast and an evening meal seems steep to me.

    When you put it like that, you are right. :D I might well be asking questions shortly.

    I ought to perhaps have altered my figures to take off two boxes of wine though :D:o sorry about that !

    I only mentioned cleaning and toiletries as these things often seemed to be mentioned in other thread for instance buying various wipes. But I see this is not the case here.

    36 rolls of Nicky Soft Touch are just £7.50 at Staples, if you can get to a branch or stop when passing one. It's a big saver for those of us with more - heads to count!

    Thanks for putting me right. I got used to buying 2 packs of 9 at a time.
