No, we didn't buy the same products every week. Nor did we buy everything that was on the spreadsheet. Not remotely everything. How often do you need goat's cheese? Items for my children's school lunches...............another matter.

It was simply a means of producing a shopping list of what we wanted/needed, printing that out, and avoiding forgetting things.

In short, being organised.
How long does it take you to organise the spreadsheet and make sure you get everything right and then go online and send it, Besoeker? Then you have to wait for delivery and put it all away.

It takes me an hour to do a month's shopping, physically instore.

I think you are.
Monday's......Chips, Beans and Lightly battered Cod.

Tuesday.......Half Pizza, mashed potatoes, lots of veg (carrots Broccoli cauliflower peas)

Wednesday.....Mashed potatoes, Fish and veg...Same as above.

Thursday.....Pasta (Fusilli) Various pasta sauces, Quorn mince and veg....

Friday.....Fresh Salmon, mashed potatoes (sometimes mustard or piccalilli mash) Loads of veg and parsley sauce....

Eating generally should be to provide energy, vitamins and minerals and done for entertainment....

Is that every week? Don't you eat meat or chicken?
That's all lovely food, Bob, but I still wonder why you have the same thing on each day. It's really weird and a bit OCD that.

No catch and no wind-up.
I just remember you had issues with your parking space a while ago.

Off topic I suppose but still mildly interesting to find out.

Same here, Mags.

I'd miss the thrill of cursing and muttering, when I get home and realise I've forgotten something too.
I like to live dangerously y'see.

The spread sheet was organised. That was the whole point of making it. All I had to was to tick the appropriate boxes. Seems I can't get that point across you guys.
