Oooh no, monthly, not weekly!!

Gosh, £800 a week on food? That is almost as much as I earn!! :shock:

I wish - I would never eat another omlette again!

In that case £100 a month is very very good so congratulations! We spend about €350 month on food and thats barely buying any veg during the summer/autumn months and I have a strict meal budget. :roll: But then food here is a lot more expensive. :(
