As you said Jaffa....the actual violence etc that gets through censorship is just awful. I despair of what my twin grandsons aged 9 are watching these days!!
Your food diary looked good today...mine was an absolute shambles! :sigh:

Well at least you weighed...my were very up!! never mind.
The new Aldi (just up the road) will have opened it doors this morning at 8.30! Needless to say I was still asleep and warm in bed!
Yes I think the shops are getting busier now...our ice rink in the shopping centre is all set up and running now until January so attracts a lot of people.

I rarely go to Aldi other then when I want benefit bars as Lidl is the easiest one for me to get to

We all had leaflets through the door with £5 off for 4 weeks but you had to spend £40...I wouldn't do that so gave them to my daughter. They had them too and can use two trolleys and use them that way. They've become big shoppers at Lidls to save money even though he gets staff discount for Asda so I'm sure Aldi is comparable. I mostly go there for Mosher Roth chocolate bars.

We wouldn't spend £40 a week in one shop as we buy what we need on the day or just buy as we run out
Not a successful shopping trip as Claires Accessories had run out of vouchers and didn't know when they were getting more in
How ridiculous

We don't spend £40 in any one store either...but my daughter has 5 mouths to feed and they tend to just shop once a week so would easily spend over £100 I'd think.
Shame about the gift cards in Claire's...bad planning on somebody's part at this time of year!!

Our shopping probably adds up to over £40 a week but we spend £5 here £10 there etc

To be honest I am probably in denial about how much ours is as we don't do one big weekly shop.
Today for example I spent £8 in Asda then we spent another £12 in Tesco this evening
I know I should add it but I am a bit afraid !! We aren't extravagant but we could probably cut it down if we tried

Yes I know what you mean...the bits and pieces do add up. I seem to go all over the place so there's the cost of fuel involved too. It's when we need say some almond milk and bananas and then I buy other stuff too that it adds up.

Exactly like tonight we walked to Tesco just to get pasta for dinner then my husband remembered he had no cereal and he also wanted porridge so that was 4 boxes. I saw the new quorn roast beef 'joint' on offer for £2 plus I saw some nice sharon fruit and voila £12 or it could be £15 later
And that's pretty typical for our shopping habits.
I don't really think about how much things cost as we don't go overboard. I don't eat meat so no big joints or anything I barely drink so we rarely buy wine and if we do 1 bottle lasts 2 days . My husband isn't a daily drinker either so he buys the little beer stubbies which lasts him ages.
We don't smoke and we don't really waste stuff as we buy what we need and I create dishes out of leftovers

I know what you mean, we don't have any extravagant desires in life either but good quality food is enjoyable.

Yep you're right about that we do like nice food and if we want something we just tend to buy it
