to think people who are crying poor should not eat

[DwainRooney]

Warburtons seeded batch bread.

On BBc news yesterday the roving reporter was out and about in a working mans house talking about the cuts and the people where complaining about losing money but in the background on the breakfast counter was a warburtons seeded loaf at about £1.70
Now if I had to tighten my belt I would be buying cheaper bread

People must realise that we have to live within our means and if that involves buying economy bread then so be it
If your income is reduced then so must your expenditure

problem solved
spend less buy cheaper

Actually, just checked the loaf I bought earlier today and it's a Kingsmill one, not Warburtons ..... is that allowed ?

When I was a student I lived on sweet and sour bread from a local deli, it cost £1.20 a loaf then, I lived within my means by not buying much else!

You assume he isn't living within his means because he is poor?

Lol at "Mad fools"!

If ever anyone need a sense of perspective, it's you OP, you mad fool!

Oh leave the OP and his cute kid alone. Dwain, this is what is known as a baptism of fire.

I think you are reading this all wrong. Perhaps the man had been out especially to buy nice bread because he had people coming round. And not any people, but BBC people.

If there has been cake, there would most definitely have been a doily under it.

It is what my nan would have done.

(I've never even heard of sweet and sour bread )

onepiece you are right there - buying food you know is horrid and therefore won't eat, will indeed cost more in the long run.

I once had a boyfriend who made his student grant go further buy drinking neat tonic water on nights out. He hated it it, so it lasted all night.

Either that, or he was lying to laugh me into bed. It worked though.

I roll my own tampons and knit my own muesli, just so I can afford a seedy loaf sometimes. Or Tiger Bread.

witchycat it is a sort of rye/sourdough bread, that is what I always called it, had carraway seeds in it iirc like this delicious crust, I could just about live on it.

Oooh tiger bread, now you're talking

Yessss..Tiger bread ..(matches my belly)...

Is this a new mns phenomenon?

Threads criticising chavs for eating healthy food? [hshock]

Stop confusing me. I thought I had learned the rules e.g. froot shoots bad, organic juice good, sasauge rolls bad, hummus wraps good.

NOW you tell me I should be sticking to the crap after all.

I posted on another thread that I never realised that people on other forums hated MN and couldn't work out why. I think I'm glimpsing why in the OP........ [hgrin]

10p bread with hummus on top.
Wrap that round ya' noggin. mrsDeVeerie [hgrin]

I once bought some (delicious, poncey) spelt bread from Asda, reduced to 10p a loaf, and froze it. Let's face it - it was reduced because most people in Asda don't understand the concept of Spelt. So their loss was my gain.

I'm confused now. I'm not poor. Was I right to buy it on account of being affluent, because it was spelt?

Or should I not have bought it because it was reduced, and I shouldn't even have been in Asda in the first place?

[hgrin] at onepiece and bread with mice, I really laughed out loud tried to tell my DP what at but couldn't for laughing

God, they'll be eating M&S paninis and drinking chai lattes next!

If you make your own bread while you're on benefits, what does that mean?

We have a breadmaker but get housing benefit.

Sometimes we make poncy bread, like tomato and olive

What does that make us?

Its makes you above your station Val

Wht? You get housing benefit yet you have the audacity to call yourself Valpollicella?

How can you even know what Italian wine tastes like at the expense of the tax payer? You and your ilk disgust me.

what next people on benefits eating fruit?..god forbid

Panini is the plural dexter73, no need for the s.[hgrin]

How come these people buy bread? I thought the benefits staple was litre bottle of Coke and large Dairy Milk? And 200 Silk Cut?

I buy Marks & Spencers bread It's not just bread, its fucking cheap bread - on account I walk to the local garage out of town and buy it, and it lasts a week after the use by date.

Tonight I got the breville out too as it's winter and made cheese and han toasties.

I am a classy chav me.
