i do my weekly shop at morrisons and to be honest what we eat within reason depends whats on buy one get one free!

this week i spent £83 go 10% discount as daugher has part time job there, that brought it down to £75 but on top of that had saved another £28 on special offers - bargain!

since going for an iva it is becoming an obsession to see how much i can save!

12 down - 60 to go! woo hoo!

I shop once a fortnight at Sainsburys - I found I was spending more when I went every day. I used to work in a town centre but when the company moved last year it meant that I'm not near a decent supermarket.

I just go now when I need it. I find myself there a couple of days a week, but Asda is in walking distance from me. just done a quick experiment to do online shopping and found myself putting things in I didn't need to bring it up to the £25 minimum shop.. plus then £5 delivery!!
Ang.. 13 payments in.. WOW, thats over 20% paid!! http://angela18.blogs.iva.co.uk/ well here we go

if you wish for a rainbow... then you have to put up with the rain xx

I used to be the same Animaleyes - deliveries from Ocado most months. It was great as it meant I didn't have to lug the shopping up the stairs to our first floor flat! Now it's trekking round Sainsburys on my own, but at least we're on the ground floor!

I'm lucky Hubby works for Sainsburys so get discount and buy a lot of reduced priced food -which is great for freezing....and he does all the shopping which is a bonus!!!!

He gets the BOGOF "smellies" and we put the "free" one in a box to make up xmas hampers for my 2 girls. It does help.
