Don't they do loose fruit & veg at Aldi?

There's not one near me (nor Lidl) so I don't know.
I think pricing stuff per kilo is something Sainsburys & Morrison's do.

Does anyone know where to get the recipes from the show without having to buy the book please?

I really think it always depends on where did you buy all the ingredients you are going to use for that certain meal. There are wet markets which you can buy vegetables and meat at a cheaper price and you can bargain as well to the storekeeper . Also depends on the quantity of each ingredients you gonna purchase because you can always stick to the suggested budget in your menu and depends with the number of people whom you gonna serve your dish.

Thank you so much! I went ahead and ordered a copy of the book on Amazon for £4.50. So I've just emailed them to see if I can cancel the order.

Thanks again

I watched a bit on catch-up tv and £268 per week for them all seemed a lot of cash.My DD had four lads at home (although one is away at Uni at the moment)and they all have healthy appetites but she has never spent that sort of money per week ,even when all five of her children lived at home.But then she doesn't do ready meals either Her lads all have a cooked meal every night even though both her and her OH work full time. She always says its down to organisation and the menu's are up on the freezer every week with what they are eating for dinner that night.
I like chicken ,but don't think I could eat it every night

I think that the mother had her hands full with 4 growing lads, and just went for the convenient option which for her was "chicken whatever". £12 on pizza that can be made better at home is just a waste, but I did like the convention that father was happy for his wife to be in charge of domestic matters without quibbling about the cash.

Rather more disturbingly, I thought the parents looked like siblings

:T Thanks for the link; I've copied one or two of these into my recipe book already.

Me neither! And DH - who's not a fussy fella - would have a dicky fit!

:rotfl:I wonder if it's the "like attracts like" syndrome?

This forum makes a good companion to the Love Food Hate Waste one that underlines a lot of what Matt says about using up what you already have before spending more money and also learning to use up LOs.
