Sainsbury's have cut back massively on their deals, but they'd no doubt counter that by saying low prices encourage multiple purchases. Haven't seen any massive increase in prices all the same, however with everyone at home and 3 boys (plus me) eating flat out, I'm sure we are getting through 200 a week on groceries  :(

No fuel no going out for dinner drinks no Mickey ds for kids no eating out at lunch lots of other less shit to lose money! 200 a week is good value!
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

We're, including kids, at eating a lot of snacks and junk during the day.

Routine completely out the window!!

If it's not corona virus it'll be diabetes lol.

All the nephews we bought Easter eggs for are in isolation so they'll need eaten too!

We are surprisingly having dinner every night as a family!! Strangest thing. Yes! The two Harps, around dinner time ain't helping then couple glasses of the red stuff after nine not good either!

I've managed to have a good training regime going though! Poor dogs getting walked flat out and the garage weight room is being used!

True enough there are savings in there too. North Antrim mentality to look at the outgoings  ;)

The missus made a full Sunday roast chicken dinner today. Not much working from home done for a while after it! Taking a while to get into the way of things.

I'm spending a fortune on the messages. Is messages just a Derry thing or do the rest of yous use it. It's messages or goods we use, mostly messages and never groceries

Messages or groceries in Belfast. Sometimes rations. Never goods.

We could be getting the ration books out again

Messages is a Strabane thing.

Messages is a Strabane thing.

But they always take their lead from the bigger better brother-Derry City

Must be a city thing. Groceries or 'the shopping' is what we'd use most. Messages maybe a very odd time.

Are there any shops outside the Big Smoke ;)
Im just going to throw random digs out here at everywhere  ;D

It wasn't until I started playing senior hurling that I realised a lot of people didn't like us Derry cCty boys, it has scared me for life, made me bitter somewhat. I will rank it in order of of much flak we got

Strabane, Donegal, County Derry.
Antrim lads have not caught onto us yet, it is hard to tell with Belfast if they just fight with everyone , so I never took anything personal with them.

Ah we have caught on rightly after many games with that na magha crowd in our leagues ;)
