its the live below the line campaign
it starts on may 2nd and the idea is you have to live on £5 for 5 days
its supposed to be food and drink
but if we do our own on here i suggest the £5 is restricted to just food
selfish reason on my part is that i drink too much tea everyday and id starve..!
we could just tell everyone what we bought on day one and see if we can stick to it
then any money we save we could donate to one of the charities named in the link
anyone up for it..?

Seeing as Tesco are selling pasta at 9p a bag I think I could live for 5 days on a fiver
It would be easy-ish if you stuck to the value range....maybe
Suppose being barred from the local helps don't it Pirate
i went back in on saturday night-the gaffer wasnt in..!
I pretty much lived off veg curry and cereals!
Thats daft cos all you have to do is a week's shopping and then not buy anything at all for the 5 days that it was happening..
Job done.

....but like someone else said, if you eat pasta and restrict yourself to the value range I reckon you might be able to do it.... however, is that £5 per person in the household, or £5 for the whole household?
If I send Mr Blizz to Walthamstow Market, I'd probably get 30 Avocados and 40 bananas, for £2.
Again!
