I am also now saving our tea leaves (and coffee grounds if you use them) into a separate area for putting around my acid loving fruit bushes.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-73579399023345958632013-01-13T15:59:38.100+00:002013-01-13T15:59:38.100+00:00Hi Elaine, I don't is the simple answer to tha...Hi Elaine, I don't is the simple answer to that. I try to spend no more than £40 per week but don't always manage it. Some weeks it is more, some weeks less. My aim of £20 for the month was post Christmas when we didn't use all our (frugal) things I had made plus what is in my two small freezers. They contain meals I make and try to add one to the freezer at the same time. For instance, tonight we are having lemon chicken curry. It will serve us both plus one joint portion put away in the freezer. If you want to know how someone lives on £10 food a week, check out the blog highlighted for today over at Frugal Queen (find her on the right of my blog). Frugal Queen herself lives on £35 a week, give or take. It can be done.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-59779947279317125562013-01-13T14:59:48.941+00:002013-01-13T14:59:48.941+00:00I have just come across your blog and as I don'...I have just come across your blog and as I don't know the background to your frugality I was astonished by the £20 a month on a food spend.
