Ok, so I don't live in Wimbledon, but surely you remember the philosophy of those chaps? They picked up rubbish other people left behind; this afternoon, I picked up a Tosca Price Promise. There it was, all £1.42 of it. It was left in the floor. Someone's 'chucked away' very valuable money! It paid (almost) for 1.3kg of frozen veg and a huge courgette. I contributed 12p. I'm quite prepared to stoop to cheap tricks to come in under £45 - although Freeganism may be one step too far!
I've priced up the remaining odds and ends in the fridge - 3 apples, ½ a cucumber, ⅓ of a lettuce, 3 eggs, ⅓ jar pesto, and a large carrot. I also grabbed milk (95p), 13g of mixed herbs (49p) and 4 garlic bulbs (59p). So the total spend now stands at £29.54, leaving me with about £5 a week! eep!! That probably doesn't sound a lot, but if you scroll back over the last ten days, then you'll see a lot of stuff has already been squirrelled away.
I said before I think I *could do this, but it has been nearly two weeks in planning - and it could still go wrong. I can't imagine having to think like this ALL the time, just to survive.
