    Welcome both!

    Can relate to things going up and issues with grocery budget (GB). My main area of weakness is not being organised with lunch and as trying to shift weight too will devise a food plan in the hope of killing two birds with one stone! Food prices have gone up massively over the last few years and even basics are much more but thankfully because we are learning this already and trying to improve are in some ways a few steps ahead...and dont get me on petrol either!! Appart from my mortgage its my biggest monthly expense and seeing as I pay tax and ni I really resent to 70 % tax on petrol as well....grrrrr
