    How on earth are you only paying £20-£40 a month for food?! My weekly shop costs more than £20, and I live alone…

      That is what food costs at Aldi? Also to clarify, that £20-40 was my approximate guess of what survival food shopping would likely cost based off my normal food shopping of £20-30 for 2 each week, or £10-15 each. But we also buy stuff that could be easily cut back if we had to.

      So a cheap week for us is £10 each and that still includes stuff you could cut out. Clearly it could cost less than £40 a month then if we were cutting back. The main thing that varies our cost is we eat quite a bit of cheese, that usually contributes to the more expensive weeks.
