How many people is that for?!

Thanks - have had a look and I might get something there. I have a few nectar points as well

It can take ages to do and can be frustrating but it's always a good feeling when you get that bargain! lol

Needs must and all that, not to mention I really don't like paying more than I have to!

How can you say Aldi is not good quality I think a lot of their stuff is better than the bigger supermarkets. Their fruit is a lot better as it doesn't go off so quickly, not to mention it's a lot cheaper. I now drink their tea, which is saying something as I have always had Yorkshire tea. I also get their chinese/curry sauces which are much nicer than the other supermarkets, as well as cheaper. Their prawn crackers are cheaper, and nicer as well. The list is endless.....

I totally agree with the range though and I do have to go to Asda every few weeks to fill up the store cupboard.

I write a meal plan and stick to it. I don't tend to buy any little extras, although some manage to land in my trolley. I also do a lot of baking so don't buy cakes, although I did buy some biscuits this week but only for 50p lol We eat a lot of rice and pasta and I buy that in bulk

I just couldn't afford that every week.

Yup ... my weekly shop is ALWAYS over £100.

That is for two adults and two children.

I tend to pop to my local Sainsbury's and do my shopping to time with when they have just reduced things. Yesterday I got one pack of salmon reduced from £4 to £1.30 and 3 packs of mackeral reduced from £3 to £1 a pack! They are in the freezer for the dogs and will go for a week's meals so not bad for the 2 of them!

I also got a lovely evening dress from a dress agency in Sheringham on Saturday for my niece. It was brand new with tags and ws 70% off so it cost just £7.50. It is really beautiful and I just jealous that I am not a size 8 to fit into it (though I would look a bit skeletal as I am 5 foot 7").

I also got 2 bags of Iams dog food 3KG senior reduced in Sainsbury's to £5 a bag. Not sure why reduced as good date (April 2013) and not a brand I normally buy but good ingredients. The dog pictured on the packet even looked quite like Izzy! (it was a mini Schnauzer though not a Kerry )

There is nothing like a good bargain to make you feel better.

I managed to pick up a whole fresh salmon from Asda on Saturday evening. Original price £23 reduced to £10. Once I'd boned, skinned and filleted it I got 12 big portions from it. What a bargain!!

Bloody hell!

OH and I spent about £150- £200 a month on our food (fresh meat and veg every day).
Dogs cost just over £20 per month to feed, and cats about the same (2 dogs, 4 cats)

I spend £150-200 per month for 2 people (including household stuff like loo-roll, cleaning stuff etc)
