I'll eat value anything but cheese tbh. There's always some proper cheese on a half price offer ime.
As on other thread, am making myself stick to £40 a week now, for me and my 18 year old daughter. Easily doable if you already have a cupboardful of spices etc, and cook from scratch, as fran says
Am also now cutting right back on my darling red wine, and will be only drinking at weekends now

I am not too sure about extracting the toiletries/ household stuff from it, but it can come to about £100 in the supermarket for everything (4 of us), but there are a few trips to the corner shop after that, depending.
Swarthy always spends and buys less but it usually means stuff is missing.

eh?
I'm not being snooty. I'm saying you can usually get nice cheese for the same price. I'm also saying I eat value everything else.
not you.
Obviously we always look for offers but we're talking £3.50 for 500g of cheese and that's a once a fortnight indulgance lol

Fuck you Dave!
I really wish I could cut our food spending down down - I cook from scratch mostly (apart from the odd £10.00 deal from M&S) but it always stays around the £80.00 a week mark.
I suppose that is for everything i.e. lunches, evening meals, cleaning stuff, cat food, Mr. QofG's seemingly insatiable appetite for biscuits, but I am sure we could live on less.
Mmmm...time to take a closer look at our supermarket spending habits I think!

No milk? A bit dry?
We spend a fair bit on choccy and biscuits - am having to buy discounted stuff, or get the huge blocks of chocolate to try and save money. Of course, this just means we eat massive amounts of dairy milk, faster
I'm making myself keep all receipts now as well, instead of using the 'chuck receipt away and it doesn't count as spending' method
Get a fucking sense of humour.
Going on your attempt at a joke, I think you should take your own advice love

I like my sugarpuffs like i like my life...without milk on it. Or them. No, wait, I've fucked that up.

If you think that a poor joke is sufficient reason to tell someone to fuck off, then I'd suggest that it's not me who needs a sense of humour injection. Lighten up, ffs.

Far too much for basically a vegan diet.
It's the far from "Innocent" smoothies and other juices that scupper my budget as well as increasing my waistline - even at "only" one a day, that adds £60 to £75 a month (as much as I pay the council). Beer, by comparison is only 10 bottles x £1.50 ..... I also fall prey to soya desserts at maybe £50 a month

Yep - same here - Cheese is one of the most expensive items on my list and is seen as a treat when I spend this much on it - I usually get cheese cheaper at the value shops like Heron or Farm Foods but decent cheese from the deli or bigger supermarkets hurts the wallet!!!

Quite often see decent cheese on "two for the price of one" offers at the supermarket. Gotta get lucky with your timing though. Alternatively, pick up some value cheese, and leave it in a sweaty sock sitting in the sun for a couple of hours. Before you know it, you'll have a decent mature cheddar! Or possibly botulism.
