Thriftuary (Part Two)

Well, well, well.  We're now another week into Thriftuary and the chart is looking very exciting indeed.

I am, needless to say, thrashing our Ben, although I have a vague suspicion that he is not correctly adjusting his expenditure to account for his two children. He recorded £7 for a pork joint today. That sounds high. It's important to adjust your pork for your children... no, wait... I didn't mean it to sound like that...

Needless to say, the highlight of my week was this:


As an interesting side effect, my smaller portions have resulted in almost half a stone of weight loss in just over a week. So now, I'm just very fat...
