    I budget £100pm for food, that includes cat food / litter and I've always got full cupboards.
    That's pretty impressive. I see that the supermarkets had £210 from me in March (though £60 of that was whisky, and it'll have included cleaning materials as well).


    I stopped drinking 16 months ago, caused my pain to flare up even more than normal. Although I do slip a few beers in the shopping for OH once a month, if he wants whisky he buys his own 😉
