What can you eat on £3 a week

HOWMUCH

I'm going with - 15 eggs Farm Foods 95p
4 pack J West tuna Farm Foods £1.95p
Sweet corn 3 tins Heron Foods £1
Helmann's Mayo Farm Foods 2 for £1
Princes corned beef tin Farm Foods £1.39
2 wholemeal loaves Aldi 90p
2 super six apples Aldi £1.18
That should do for 3 weeks £8.37

But I'd look out for YS things like bread and veg(HM soup) eggs(normally have more than a week to use up) fruit.

Never heard of Heron foods so I assume it's a regional store?

Nothing strange about that combo. Mixed it's a Marie Rose sauce

I know, and mixed together it's lovely with prawns. I just think it's strange having salad cream with stews! :rotfl: Then again, I used to hate the idea of chips and gravy, and now I love it!

£50 46 weeks £2300, even after paying for alternatives thats a nice holiday.

If more people normalized spends on an annual basis they would see what their money could be doing for them.

Shop lunch or a holiday you choose.

I said I used to do that, years ago. But yeah, I agree, people don't realise just how much it all adds up to over the year.

:rotfl: Pollycat! Some good tips there, thanks

We have one in our town, so maybe they're just a Northern store?

Surely this should be in the Arms or the "Food Shopping" boards?

I find it disturbing that some people have the idea that they are physically related to their food! :eek:

I work with students (real university ones, not re-branded school pupils) and most of them think nothing of spending £5-£6 a day on lunch.

This is in stark contrast to my student days when education was "free". We had to watch every penny.

I'd say the Oldstyle board.
