I've got a few friends coming around for the Super Bowl and generally I'm also using feb to invite people I owe a night in and meal to, so I thought I'd do one big online shop.

Ffs it's £300 without alcohol

lol

£70-80 a week but that's for a family of 5. We don't buy biscuits, cakes etc so it is basically the essentials to fix meals for the week.

Sorry it's like gold to me

But if you have a garden and don't mind a few bees helping your garden post a message on a farming site lots of bee keepers want new places to put hives and they give you a share and you don't have to do anything that's what my mum did

Very similar to rabbit just a bit smaller and harder to peel

And it stops them stealing all the bird food
