I just did an online shop (without buying anything!) to find out what it will cost myself and OH when we get married. it came to £160 but i reckon that was not far off a months stuff, with some of it lasting more and some less than a month. it might end up being a bit more but I feel pretty happy with that over all.Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0

Hi all
This thread has been interesting to me too. I can't get below £70 either, although I know part of this is due to not actually going to the shops, I only do my weekly shop online this is due to not having much spare time. In my last post I said that mealplanning had made me spend more than usual, but I suppose some of the stuf would have been split to go into the following weeks plans.....
I can't get the hang of all this yet
