He's not the only one. That's 3 of us that seem to "loathe" the "shopping experience". We only pay for what we need and "we" decide what we need or want. Heavy handed marketing and techniques to try and separate us form our hard earned are obviously wasted.

Your sig separator is still broke. It should be hyphen hyphen space.

15 per week is more than Polly Toynbee managed on as part of her research for her book 'Hard Work' (recommended read BTW). Mind you she was reduced to potatoes and cabbage soup and so on!

Somebody show us their !5 shopping list for a week's food.
