I'm Currently Feeling: | Our shop comes to about £50 a week. We just buy the same things every week apart from when the washing powder etc runs out but generally pretty much exactly the same. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | We have the big American style fridge-freezer, which are brilliant coz things don't get lost at the bottom. I try to fill that at the beginning of the month and then I only need to get fresh fruit, veg and milk etc each week.
You don't want to see it today although!!!!!

I'm Currently Feeling: | Weve got an American fridge freezer and a stand alone freezer. Spent £216 at Asda yesterday-pay day ha ha then £70 at Farmfoods.
The Adsa shop included nappies tho so not bad.
Wil need to do a few mini shops throughout the month tho as it dont last long! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Usually between £40 and £60 a week. I might try doing some shopping online for the next couple of months. DH thinks he's heard of a supermarket that'll do free delivery on orders for mid-week delivery.... any ideas who it might be?
It's not Tescos and Sainsburys, although Tescos do seem to do cheaper deliveries on 2 days a week. |

| mine depends on if we need soap powder and deordant, but can be from under 30 to 60 pound a week that doesn't include nappies and wipes cos i get them from boots, and also depends on if we missed a meal out cos we ate at matty's mum's say or something like that or we only get half meals cos we have already got stuff in. |
