The cost of living.....

Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.

    I did a big shop last night.
    Enough food for about a week. £7
    Baked beans aren't going up in price.
    4 cans of beans and a loaf is about £2.25 and that makes 12 meals!

    And baked beans are full of fibre and vitamins! Have to say I eat more than a third of a can per meal though.

    Really? 1/3rd is enough.
    For a BIG meal it's: 2 pieces of toast, 1/3rd of a can of beans, 2 scrambled eggs. 38p

    Lol I have 1 or 2 pieces of toast (or a potato) and share a can of beans with OH! Although I suppose with eggs as well a 3rd would be enough!

    That's a big meal? Hardly enough to keep a working man going! 3 slices of toast, full can of beans, 4 rashers of bacon and 2 fried eggs. Now that is a meal!

    And a small girl. Very short and about 130-135 pounds.
    My official "should be" weight is 100-110 pounds, so we're not talking about somebody who skimps on food either

    The cost of living going up will hopefully stop all these fat bugg4hs that get in my way in the shops when they're stocking up on multi-buy packs of crisps and gallons of fizzy pop for their fat kids.

    This crash might be the secret Govt solution to obesity.

    I'm 5'10" and even I would be fine with the meal that you said!
