    when the chap interviewing you for a mortage offer doesnt believe how little you spend on groceries, (about an 1/4 of what him and his g/f spend), and he accueses you of being delusional about your spending and starts to question the other financial data you've given him....
    then you explain - whoopsies, planning, home cooking, less meat, batch cooking, slow cooker for cheaper meat cuts and MSE. Then HE looks embarased. :rotfl:

    You walk 3 miles through the snow to the shop and then walk home again with 12kg of food in your 52 litre rucksack.

    `Oh I forgot this one, your friends when they get a brill bargain in a shop actually call it "Doing a Vi" (except they use my real name) that makes me proud of them. Vi xx

    This happens to me too! I also hear people in the office saying they got a discount for something using "lilian's magic website" - I emailed a few people a link to the Discount Codes and Vouchers forum and taught them how to search! It warms my heart! x
