I've just realised I have to spend it ALL. Tough gig when you're dealing with translated money and extra pences. Anything over I'd spend on 10p bottles of fizzy water, and then ask them to round it up at the till. You can do that - the money goes to the supermarket's chosen charity, which in this time and place is Sport Relief, a worthy cause.

Starburst jelly beans and M n Ms in equal portions. If I had an odd amount of money left, I would donate it to the kid looking longingly at the coin machines at the front of the store.

Beer and hookers.

Well, with the kind of hooker you'd get for that kind of money, you're gonna need some beer goggles.

I hate shopping so much that I wait until we're on the brink of starvation, then I shop for the next three years for anything on sale and non-perishable, and the next several weeks for everything else. a $27 spend just isn't happening. Unless I go to CVS and they have beer at $7.50 for a 12 pack and there is a limit of 3....but that hasn't happened yet.

Rottissere Chicken $7
Bag of baby spinach $3
Pack of Corn tortillas $2
jar of salsa $3
bag of fiesta mix cheese $4
3 avocados in season right now $3
3 pack of red.yellow.orange peppers $4
can of frejoles negros $1

that will make tacos for dinner 3 nights in a row. 4 tacos each.....24 total tacos. healthy tacos

Hahahahaa...I know...they're cheap little things. I grew up with the "combination" kind readily available as a snack. Back then it would feed me and my friends because they used to be the size of an album and now they're about the size of a CD.

Mostly, I love the crust. I put it directly on the oven rack and the bottom crisps up really well...yum.

They're not as bad as Jenos! But yeah, I like Totinos.

4 L milk 3.97
dozen eggs 1.97
block of farmers cheese 4.99
bunch of bananas 2.30
box of ceral 1.97
3 lb onions .99
3 lb carrots 1.47
head of lettuce .79
package of mini beef wellingtons on sale for 1.94
1 L apple juice .99
1 KG honey ham 4.00

You need a lot more spinach (about 8 tacos in each bag), but it's only $1.88 a bag. Also 1 pepper for 4 tacos. And you forgot the habenero sauce....
