Food for Thought

The guy in front of me at Tesco's bought three carrier bags worth of food - all discounted stuff or "value" brand. Enough food to last a week, maybe more. Total expense: £14

I bought dinner for tonight, some marigolds and dish scrubs, a bottle of olive oil, Doritos and salsa dip. Enough stuff to last until midnight tonight if you don't count the oil. Total expense: £17

I'm such a Guardian reader.

Boyfriend note: Let's take today's lesson and apply it to someone's ongoing opinion that spending more money on groceries means contributing more food to the house. Could it be that midnight Doritos don't say "Guardian reader" as much as they say "this little piggy impulse buys"?

What if I bought the Doritos for a certain piggy in the house?

haha, I agree with the last bit.

I just went shopping and usually I buy basic things like fruit and veggies, bread, cheese and jam but I just went half an hour ago and spent 14 Euros on some basics as well as crisps (lovely 'healthy' ones though), a veggie 'Flammkuchen' (I never buy ready-made food but today I needed sth) and chocolate.

Also, I really like quality food and even though I don't spend a lot of money in general, I do spend about a third of what I spend in total on food. But then, where I live the rent is much cheaper than in London!
