I watched a recent programme 'Great British Budget Menu' about how many people struggle to have enough food on their weekly income ... similar stories were featured ... I will definitely be using some of Jack's recipes ... the soup looks delicious ...

Luckily I quickly worked my way out of that situation but I still empathise hugely with struggling single parents who want to do their best for their children and I find waste or consumer excess deplorable. So glad you've highlighted this excellent website and it's reason for being. Spread the word!

I think in my own way I was resourceful but she is even better at it than I could ever hoped to have been.<br /><br />And her recipes are wonderful, I love the Pasta and Fish Paste, who knew something so basic could taste so good.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-51491426065055458232013-08-06T10:36:35.948+01:002013-08-06T10:36:35.948+01:00Gosh her post just brought a tear to my eye.

I'll be making a donation to the food bank this week as a result of reading this. Thanks for writing this post Claire, it's a very inspiring story. xjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13026918039278688996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-34340209480222095842013-08-06T08:39:59.100+01:002013-08-06T08:39:59.100+01:00I remember reading how she food shops for £10 a we...I remember reading how she food shops for £10 a week, which really puts me to shame! Food budgets can really vary so wildly. Most of mine is spent on food!
