£9 for that? Tesco, tinned chopped tomatoes are like 40p a can
- had to get napolitana ones because they ran out of own brand - £1.00 for two, can get a pack of onion in aldi or lidl for about 69p
live nowhere near either of those - but I guessed 60p, bag of pasta can get for as cheap as 29p
no way - about a quid for half a kilo, but I'd use half of that, so it lasts for two goes, home bargins you can get a 4 pack of tuna cans (branded ones too) for £1.60
yeah, about that, no idea on olives as I hate the things
1.50 for a decent sized jar? nice to snack on too. :P cheese, I buy the big 900g blocks from aldi/lide for £3.99
aww fack, can't stand those. 500g = 4 quid ish.
your estimates: £8.87 (I used my olives estimate, but even cheapo ones (50p?) would be £7.87, which isn't far off 9 quid, to be fair.
my estimates: £9.70, maybe the olives are high, but hey.Another thing I've found, people are often either too lazy or too proud to shop in cheaper stores
whatever's nearest for me - waitrose on my parents cash, sainsbury's on my own, aldi for the things I care less about (not saying this is necessarily the case for you). Though I do understand sometimes the stores aren't always in the area...though you can get deliveries.
they cost money, don't they? and I quite like the walk Yeah that counts :P I genuinely can't taste the difference. Though I rarely eat beans.
heinz is the only way. Aye, I wasn't implying you in particular can't cook, it's just a trend I have noticed.
no, fair enough. out of 16 sharing the kitchen I'm the only one who cooks (and I don't even live there)… but I get to make everyone jealous I always overestimate on pasta! :P But then I eat it all anyway because I'm a greedy bastard
this. this is me.No harm in doing it every now and again, but it's so easy to lose track of spending and buy far to much (even if you end up eating it all, if it was too much it's not like you saved money...you just ate more) or far to often when you are going shopping every day. I've done it myself.
I know! I learnt that fast, first week of first year in uni I bought way more veg than I needed and half of it went off, money down the drain.
ah ****.I agree it's a good deal for one off occasions, but if you're making it a daily habit it's an unnecessary cost when you can just make the sandwich yourself, buy multi packs of crisps and bring your own bottle for a fraction of the cost over time.
yeah, bottled water then I guess. I don't reaaaaally eat crisps, but I guess it would be a bit cheaper...Convenience costs money, and it adds up.
