Ok. Do me a favour. Shopping list. I need your ideas!

Pretend you have nothing in the house, nothing at all.

Your task is to make a list of all items a family needs for one week. Just one week. Assuming they have nothing.

2 adults, 2 children. 1 cat. All food, drink, household, toiletries, everything.

What do you like to eat?
Are you at home for lunch?
Do you all eat meat?
Do the dc's like fish?
Do you use eco products?

What do you like to eat? I like junk but we are all eating VERY healthily! Wholegrain, lots of veg, no processed stuff, meals from scratch.
Are you at home for lunch? Yes.
Do you all eat meat? Yes
Do the dc's like fish? Yes
Do you use eco products? As far as is afordable, that is my preference.

Reason for this is dh INSISTS shopping costs too much and that I must waste money and could shop more economically and have more items!

Currently I spend about £40-50 a week at Tesco and £20-30 at the market (fruit and veg). Every 3 months or so I stock up on meat from the farm, which costs between £80 - £100, but sometimes up to £120.

plus £30 a week misc.- lottery, bread, milk, treats.

i think your dh is being a miserable sod.
let him be in charge of the shopping for a few months. he will endup spending double what you do, andyou'll never have any milk either.

I suggested this to him.

Rather loudly and with creative use of language.

Apparently, that's not the issue.

oh god how dull
od we haev to

No Cod, not at all! I think the silence of my fellow mners speaks volumes, don't you?

It's a very very dull request isn't it?!

So, I shall just tell him to piss right off and continue the way I am!

yes, instead of it being in food it should be in relationships or Am I being unreasonable
