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

Stay off the white star though.

I am a SAHD
Kids at school/nursery,housework done,veg stew made for tea, so nothing to do now until pick up time from school

Another pot of tea me thinks

sorry I forgot to address it to you

I've had to make cutbacks over the last few years but the one thing I won't drop standards on is nutrition. If I have to cut back still further then something else will go from the budget before I buy rubbish to feed my family.

Upper working lower middle actually

Excellent Dwain, if you have some free time you can start contributing to the Big Society. I suggest a sponsored walk to raise money to buy bread machines for The Poor which will allow them to make their own nutritious bread with seeds in at less than the cost of even a supermarket own-brand seeded loaf.

The Poor can fuck off
I work hard being a SAHD and my free time is my own
They can stick to the 20p cheap white bread and get bunged up for all I care

I am offering my wisdom
Is that not enough

wow I'm a middle class single mummy on benefits

yes but I don't understand your wisdom - surely if I am managing to feed my family healthy food on a restricted budget that's a good thing - no???

Don't be so silly MaMoTTaT

What are you all talking about? Warburtons, Hovis, Kingsmill. Pray tell what does this mean?. My baker brings me a selection of wonderfully fresh baked bread products each morning, which I peruse whilst my butler lays out my clothes for the coming day.
Good God people you are all such an enigma to me.

Anyone else wondering which street corner millimurphy is going to be selling her stale bread sculptures on? Im fancying buying a job lot for Christmas presents.

'The Poor can fuck off
I work hard being a SAHD and my free time is my own'

something tells me the Big Society isn't going to work....

I guess ought to go down the shop and buy some crisps, cheese strings, cakes and biscuits for DS's lunch............

PMSL @ seth

you needed telling that

dwain, is it not half term?

half term next week here colditz

Cheap bread is nasty. Maybe he is spending on nice bread instead of booze and fags. Would that be acceptable OP?

What about making bread. Is that cheaper or a false economy if you factor in gas/electricity. This is just a thought btw, not a suggestion that anyone without tons of cash should make their own.

Are you on national tv complaining about the cutbacks?
no
You can spend what you like as long as you do not complain about it
If you have £1 in your purse you will buy the cheaper 80p loaf rather than wait until you have enough to buy the £1.40 loaf
will you not?

half tern next week

wow dwaine if you are indeed 'offering your wisdom', who exactly are you offering it to if you would rather the poor would just 'fuck off'??

me and my DH are both full time, working, productive members of society and we live within our means and rarely buy luxuries but if we did decide to buy anything considered not essential, that is OUR decision to do so seeing as how we both earn our income and as we are ENTITLED to WTC/CB and claim this due to being in the low earning bracket we see fit to spend that on providing our DD with a hearty and nutritious diet. whether or not people (who claim any kind of benefit) buy branded foods at a marginally higher price to the supermarket own brand has always been, and will always be, absolutely none of your (or anyone elses) business...that is the benefit of MY wisdom.

Mishy - own bread works out roughly the same for me, mostly because instead of going through one loaf over 2 or 3 days - we end up going through an entire loaf in one day if it's home made

Think I did once work out though, that if we used it like a normal loaf it was cheaper even taking into account gas/electric.

I spend £4.99 on loaf of bread sometimes

Extra comes fro ds1's DLA, BTW: couldnt manage it out of income support of JSA I suppose if we got that.

I am not saying buy the cheapest bread

the 80p loaf is brown and very nice
I am saying buy the next level down that you usualy buy

well I do complain about it - bloody flour rocketed in price, and sugar seems to have soured as well.

you haven't told me whther the 80p loaf is a 400g or 800g one, 400g would be a false economy so £1 in my purse I would raid the penny jar and buy the £1.40 loaf - or just not have bread.
