Ok ok, I know I have queried it on these forums several times but online grocery shopping (sorry to the small independent shops who I swore I would be loyal to) really is the answer. I have been doing this for two or three weeks now and really have saved a fortune. I think I have probably cut my weekly budget by about £150. I plan all my meals. By the end of the week my cupboards are bare but I have eaten a good healthy and original meal all week and my children have not once had sausages or fishfingers!! Hurray. I am a late convert but a convert nonetheless.
