double quote for the hell of it.... Is there much salt in beer?
I wouldn't be mistaken for skinny, but I am not fat either (fairly consistently measured at ~12%. Still, my metabolism has slowed down by quite a bit from my early teenage years so I don't want to chance it. Is the danger of salt diminished if I stay well hydrated?
No it isn't... it is "Pure Orange Juice"... not "Made From Concentrate" as has to be stated on cartons of juice that are just that.lol That is *not* posh Orange juice!! it's made from concentrated exactly the same as all the other cheap ones!
In relation to the OP, I'd say the best way to save money on food is make about 3-4 portions yourself, then freeze some for later. Obviously a big freezer is a good idea here.
Eating out you have to ask yourself something... How can it be better value for someone else to buy, cook and serve your food than you yourself?
1.21 GIGAWATTS!!!!!
One when me and my friend were in New Zealand on flight training and drunk we spent ~£200 UK (we think as thats how much money went missing) on cheese only to find out that it had been on special offer as its sell by date was the next day. Everywhere stank for the next month and we didn't even get to eat any of it.
Seems to vary wildly really; anything between about £30 and £60 for three of us. Up until recently, we have been eating out quite a bit, but I've started to take an interest in cooking stuff myself, which can be a bit difficult when Mrs Fishcake is a fussy eater.
At work, I pretty much bought pre-made sandwiches every day, but since I've moved workplace, I work a few minutes away from a Sainsburys local, so every other day I go and get a 40p half-size baguette (or other bread type depending what's on offer) and use some spreads, cheese or meat slices with half the baguette to make myself a nice fresh sandwich, then use the second half of the baguette the day after. I'm a fussy sod when it comes to bread; I don't really like eating sandwiches on regular sliced bread
Actually....
I find i cook with a lot of salt, last night i made a nice cottage pie. So, there was salt in the beef stock, there was salt in the tomato puree, there was the salt i put on the mince.
Then we have the parsnip and spud mash. Lots of salt added to that to help make it tasty. Then some cheese on top, probably salt in that too.
Lots and lots of salt.

lmao my grandad died weighing 8 stone at 5 ft 6 before he died he had 7 heart attacks.
my great aunts husband died aged 27 of a heart attack he was about 10 stone and 5 ft 9 so a good weight. dropped dead at work
skinny people die too but then lifestyle is always a factor as well
Same here. I tend to get heart burn or indigestion if i eat too much regular sliced loaf so stick to pitta or wrapps etc. Non mass produced bread is ok, I can eat loads of that, must be all those enzimes they add to make the bread fluffy and last an unnatural amount of time (the ones they don't have to declare on their packaging as they are classed as "cooking aids" rather than preservatives).I'm a fussy sod when it comes to bread; I don't really like eating sandwiches on regular sliced bread
Thats a bit unfair statement to make. People who don't watch their sat fats are likely to be fat on the outside as well as fat on the inside, the two are not diametrically opposed!
Indeed.

What exactly is 'good bread'? I thought that you are more or less good to go if you stick with wholemeal. I tend to go Hovis Wholemeal or Hovis Best of Both.
Good bread for me bread that doesn't last an unnaturally long time in the cupboard because of preservatives and it's bizzare baking method.
So homemade bread, bakers bread (although supermarket "bakers" still aren't brilliant) and bread when i'm offshore because they make it every night from normal ingredients.
Er... waaaay too much on food...
Atleast £100 a week + normally... probably closer to £150-200. Thats just me plus 1-2 nights paying for the other half too.
Man, I should really cut down... I don't really know where it goes too lol... spend £4 every morning at work... another £5 at lunch... plus a drink at some point... thats £50 a week just in work food :|
Good reason not to eat cheap sliced bread: (Maybe the same in non-cheap stuff as well.. I don't know.. I don't dare look at the ingredients list on them)
Sliced bread is made of glue.
Water+Flour are main ingredients.
Anyone that has mixed those two ingredients together knows that they create a basic glue.
Anyone for a sliced bread sandwich?
Kids are getting smarter, eventually no amount of parental controls will be able to stop themI guess we're expected to do quite well
Living on my own I generally do a monthly shop at Tesco/Asda/Lidl and spend about £50. Top that up then with veg and some meat from local stores, probably spend around £70 a month. I'm far from a skint student, I just cook most of my food and generally eat very healthily. I tend to prefer cooking myself anyway, makes me hungry and appreciate the food more! Home cooked meals always taste better unless you're spending serious bucks on food. Apart from the odd thing I barely see any point in spending any more than I do on grub. It's more expensive to eat crappy food I find!
Each to their own though I guess
"I Don't mind Lobster. It's like you could, you know... Punch... A lobster. I wouldn't eat anything I couldn't punch"
I am a sucker for seafood, especially raw (sashimi). Sushi/Sashimi is something I have once to twice per week. Expensive, but surely one of the healthiest options?
