It's the household goods and toiletries that always chunk up the price I find. I am however lucky in that I work for a company that makes household detergents and washing up so I pay a mere fraction of the price in the staff shop which brings my monthly bill down a large amount
Add to that you can buy branded toiletries fairly cheap at places like home and bargains here. I do however have a few customers in the toiletries industry so sometimes I happen to call in on staff day
Rather doing a big shop every 7-10 days for the pair of us at Tesco, and then 'topping' up every other day for missed items/treats we do our meat and fruit/veg at Costco and the rest at Waitrose/Tesco. It works out much cheaper
Just watched it and it is really sad to see. I am losing weight but would never want to do it in the way that woman did.
One extreme to the other, some struggling to find £3 a day to spend on food and going without meals, and others saying they spend £700 (not knocking that as its up to you if you want or can afford to spend that high an amount)
Definitely going to make an effort to eat more healthily then I do and try watch what I spend my money on at the same time.
Suppose the only kicker in all this is that food prices in supermarkets are going up and up and up, really makes me wish I had a garden sometimes so I could grow some of my own veg...
It's great this time of year mate, we are getting a punnett of strawberries a day at the moment, lettuce, salad potato's, herbs, mint(for the pimms), beetroot but not enough to sustain us totally.
