Ridiculous food spend...
Comments

What kind of meals do you like?
What do you want to be included within your budget?
I started noting down and keeping all my receipts so I knew what I spent. Then started cutting back, doing more savvy shopping which takes a little long, getting things from different shops.
I was actually surprised where I was spending my money over the year.Why pay full price when you may get it YS

I quite enjoy eeking out the last few days of provisions, it makes me much more creative about what I eatPasturesNew wrote: »I only foodshop when I've run out of a lot of things and have spent some time "going without".
It almost becomes a challenge to see if I can hold off until early Sat (depending on whether the Liidl weekend specialbuys appeal).
As Happy MJ says, storing extra bread and milk in the freezer can save you from ending up at the supermarket too often.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

And last time I looked wasn't giving necessary information about lifestyle. It stands to reason that if you have, for example, a cheap lunch in a company restaurant then you won't need to spend as much as someone who has to provide 3 meals a day. Or, as many on mse seem to do, if you want to budget for what seems a huge amount weekly on cleaning materials and toiletries....... etc etc0
