As many of you will have experienced, there is too much month left and not enough money at the rate we are going, so we are setting ourselves a challenge:
Eat for £10 per week (for 2)
So, not really a catchy title, but we are going to see if we can spend less than £10 this week, between us, on food and drink. We have quite a well stocked freezer and cupboards (I am a bit of hoarder) so it should be manageable. We'll need to buy vegetables, milk and bread but otherwise, I reckon we can manage... if all else fails, I have anchovies...

That's some challenge! Good luck with it. Do you have a local market nearby? I used to walk through Leicester's market on the way home from my 1st teaching post and could always pick up bags of really cheap veggies...and I lived in hope of catching a glimpse of Gary Linneker's legs but that's another story!
No nearby market, but a Lidl and our Tesco always has reduced veg and things...
But truly, Gary Linneker's legs? Oh dear!
£10 per week for both of you will be a huge challenge I should think. But empty freezers will be so much easier to transport to your new house this summer wherever you get your job, so now is a good time to try. Does wine come into this btw?
Just imagine those untold riches next year when you are earning... :)
TBH, we don't really drink that much wine.... I have some in the freezer for cooking with, but other than that, I am not bothered!
We have a lot of meat in the freezer and some ready-done dishes that we did earlier in the month.
As for moving, I own the house, so I will be keeping it and having my lodgers (which just covers the mortgage)... I can't quite bear to part with it, and can't afford the solicitors fees to move properly!
