I don’t think any adults would buy such trash anyway

True. I'll ask the wife why she "buys such trash" for the kids and see how that goes.
I read your post as you like to partake yourself.
That said it still doesn’t change that they are expensive junk food.

Our monthly grocery spend for 2 adults and 2 kids:
Was just shy of £500p/m ~4 years ago. Pushing up to £700p/m now. Definitely noticing it. Our shopping habits have stayed broadly the same. There's a few dishes that are too expensive now so we don't bother with those (mainly those involving expensive cuts of meat/fish).

We mix beef and pork mince then also add in some lentils to bulk it out.
Most food is zero rated…. The government isn’t making anything on this.
It’s just junk like crisps, confectionery and chocolate biscuits which isn’t.

Any vids on how to do this? How did you get into it?
We have an elder tree in the garden, and every year it's had loads of berries and I've said to myself "should make some wine out of those". Last year finally got round to actually doing it, so we picked as many as we could reach, ended up with about 2kg.
Then went looking for starter kits, and bought this:
www.brewbitz.com
And then followed their recipe here:

Also grabbed one of their wine kits (to get over the threshold for free postage )
You'll need some bottles & corks too (or just reuse screwtops)
The elderberry turned out rather nicely - just finished the last bottle a couple of weeks ago, but got the next batch of berries ready to get started this weekend
Didn't take long to "catch the bug" and we've upgraded to a couple of 30l buckets/carboy so we can do the 30 bottle kits and bigger batches
Then went looking for starter kits, and bought this:

My local chippy £7.20 for a large chips!
£11 here for just a normal fish and chips.
West London prices right there!!
Showing your age thereFar cry from the days when my mum used to send me (as the youngest) up to the local chippy for five rounds of cod (they used to be large back then) and chips (all wrapped in newspaper).
Total cost?
7s 6d all in!
Maybe consider testosterone supplements?
I was going to put some brackets in that statement stating not penis related, but I didn't think there were many 10 year olds on the forums
