It does seem a little high for a weekly supermarket bill. Are you sure you are not buying your clothing etc from there too?

Mind you they had a great monkey toy pet in Sainsbury which was the best I have ever seen (for 5 pounds, now discontinued)I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.Comment

On my farm we grow quite a bit of organic produce, and when in England I get my pies free (it's a hard life but someone has to check product quality).
So my food bill is actually quite low.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

If you buy fresh food and veg from a farm shop you can lower your food bill but you will have to spend a little time preparing the food. Interspersed with some nice cuts of meat from a local butcher is good as well.
If you are buying processed food (microwave meals, packaged etc) it will cost a fortune.
If you do what Lucifer and I do and prepare all your fresh food, you find that you spend less time eating out.
Also, inviting like-minded friends over for dinner and visa versa makes it more enjoyable.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

I wouldn't touch even with a bargepole anything that has the "Economy" label written on it.Comment

Clearly you grow some veg, and some some sort of stock too - unless your pies are 100% veggy ones.
Tell me more?

You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
