To spend £30 a month on ALL food and drink?

[Jumell]

I’m single and live alone. I want to set myself a good budget and admit I’ve overspent /been wasteful in the past.

As a single adult female living alone - is £30 per month on food doable do you think ? Includes eating out etc

Nectar points have also been mentioned multiple times.

Is this really a new type of job?

No absolutely not !!

No!!

The threads been very useful in the main in terms of purchasing ideas etc

Not possible if wanting healthy meals. Crap carbs are cheap. Fruit and veg and protein are more expensive. Big believer in batch cooking from scratch but would say £30/week in Lidl is more reasonable

Nope. Unless you have a well stocked freezer, tins, dried foods, seasonings etc. it would still be difficult. Utterly impossible without the aforementioned items. Even without buying a Greggs pizza slice…

Wait, you extol the virtues of real stock over stock cubes, but you were surprised that just eating biscuits and junk was not a good idea? I think I'm more firmly on the side of fake thread now.

This is easy. Do a big shop on 31st of the month for everything.

Spend £7 a week on milk, bread, and the odd non-frozen veggie.

That’s a good tip actually thanks
