★the value of £1

I have just been reading about this and am going to sign up for it .

It has made me so aware of how often I spend £1,£2 or £3 without thinking about it .

Not so long my food budget was £30 a week for 4 of us but I have a storecupboard with tins of tomatoes/packets of pasta/rice/pulses .

This challenge is to spend £5 a week for everything you eat so you have to either not use of add the cost of cupboard stuff/food given you .

It has already made me think so much ,I am grateful for all we have and do support charities but I think this will give me a small understanding of how it feels – the big difference is I’m choosing to do this .

In response to flowergirl’s post:

Excellent flowergirl I read an article from a lady who said she would make up menus for the week. This way she didn’t end up buying things that could not make up some kind of meal. I have been doing that but once in a while I buy something that looks very tempting then I go to the computer and look for recipes that may include some of the things I’ve already bought.

Hugs,

Positive affirmation that actually worked for me. It programs your subconcious mind when falling a sleep or getting up.. :)
