@teresa I think it’s important not to stress too much over it; as long as we’re doing what we can, then it’s all good :-)

I managed to cut down a bit was dissapointed with the results overall. Thinking about it since, I've also come to the conclusion that I'm not going to compromise and give up organic fruit/veggies etc and that I do the best I can given my circumstances. When work takes up less of my time I will devote more energy to meal planning/bulk cooking/stock piling and the like. Thanks for the opportunity anyway, it's made me relax about it an realise that it's not possible just yet!

I don't go much under that for our family of two! And health is not something to give up! I always splurge for plenty of healthy veggies when I'm shopping--I pick the best and the healthiest, not the cheapest. I sometimes work to make up for that by cooking a lot of dried lentils and beans too, and by making our bread, but hey, there are limits! .-= Simple in France´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.simplelifeinfrance.com/2010/03/travel-without-looking-like-a-tourist/" rel="nofollow">Travel without looking like a tourist</a> =-.

One thing I've done this month is stick to 'the once a week shop' which has stopped me buying little extra mid week; I realise this is difficult for you without a car; perhaps you could get a weekly delivery? hi mo; it is very difficult isn’t it.

I have been trying really hard and am finding it very difficult too. Its good to have tried and I think I have definately managed to reduce it somewhat.
