Because Tesco is so close to me I shop there.

During the past few months EVERY item on my regular list has gone up by considerably more than inflation.

One thing I do NOT do is waste a single crumb of food.

A mouse trapped in my bin would quickly die of starvation.

There is no necessity or excuse for it, and there are millions of innocent starving kids in this world who would be grateful for some nourishment.

My weekly food bill for the two of us is about £35, even at Tesco's ripoff prices, and I always try to cook our meals from scratch using fresh ingredients, rather than consume the mean quantity of unhealthy (high fat and sodium content) crap normally provided in the average over-priced ready meal. (Sorry Imagine )

Why would I want to feed my son unhealthy rubbish ?

I usually make enough so that I can freeze some for when time is tight.

ps.....Must stop being such a smug
