to be honest i can not se the point of this thread,

what exactly did you send your £70 on? there is only about 20 quids worth of stuff lsited

krooton · 18 May 2011 at 12:10

Oops, meant to mention these are meals for both me and my gf. It also includes any deals we stocked up on, in this case enough chocolate for the rest of the month and some frozen prawns and fishfingers that were on offer.

Yes, it's purpose isn't really evident, but then the majority of stuff online is pointless

you visit her parents far too often.

Skidder · 25 May 2011 at 11:25

Unless you're banging your GF's mum too, stop being such a suck-up!

Her horse is in Chichester, so if we have nothing planned in London, we go back for the weekend so she can see him.

Hank_Marvin · 25 May 2011 at 12:52

I'd send her on her own and get some man time in.

krooton · 25 May 2011 at 13:21

I do, she goes riding, I play games on the laptop, plus it's 2 days of free food

It's completely pointless if you don't itemise the bill, at least to some degree. You say the shop includes toiletries and when you bulk buy stuff, so if the shop's £70, but that includes £20 worth of toiletries, why not just say "£50 worth of food"? :\. You could further break it down to £x on meat, etc... that's not hard, and makes it far better.

Yeah, will do that moving forward, didn't initially as I didn't keep my receipt and just knew what we spent in total.

I'll go a bit more granular from next week.

What about breakfast?

Skillmister · 7 Jun 2011 at 12:45

How on earth do you spend 50 quid for a weeks food when 3 of the meals are leftovers and 2 whole days away? Do you bathe in steak or something?

mangobreeder · 7 Jun 2011 at 13:05

i agree with skill,

what the hell are you spending your money on

Oh what a thought!

I have to agree though I spend a little more than you but probably eat as much as both of you

Though, you could just be buying higher priced/quality foods which is entirely plausible.

It's for 2 people

Breakfast is porridge that I bulk buy dirt cheap and make at work.

Also, my spend amount isn't solely for use that week, I will also stock-pile any deals in the freezer. As an example, the sausage casserole will be made with sausages I bought a few weeks ago that were BOGOF. And BBQ ribs that were on offer this week are now in the freezer for future use.

£X meat, £X carbs, £X veg

Ah yes, meat, veg and carbs. The three essential food groups.

You need to go back to nutrition college.
