Its way to much. Back in the day they had to live off chick peas and porridge and a luxury budget was about a quarter of that i think.

Aye, chickpeas'n'porridge w'nobbut tap-water t'wash it down - th'HMs was 'ard in them days..... :pipe:

The seemed to have run out of rations very early on this week and were using the chickpeas, and that was on last weeks "luxury" budget, I know they messed up when ordering and spent far too much on biscuits and bread, but there must be some big eaters in there. All those muscles need lots of protein...:blush:

C'mon. £8 a day on food, alcohol and cigarettes? You don't think that's extravagant? That's £56 per person per week. That amount could cover two weeks for me!

Their budget should be lowered and they should learn how to prioritise.

It depends whether they shop at ASDA or M&S :laugh:

its not our money so who really cares it still wont be enough for some
and im sure some things will get missed off the list and when they do fail a task it will make it even harder for them to cope on a budget.

Patrick 22-06-2012 07:10 PM

Yes. And it'd be okay if someone like Harry were in there and would spend about £420 of it on Bananas or something but these dicks wouldn't.

It seems like way too much.

Well it's enough for Luke A's fags ...But what are they gonna eat?

Im re-watching BB2 at the moment and on day 41 they have £24.50 to buy a weeks shopping for 7 housemates.
It makes things far more interesting than the flop that is BB13.

Jords 23-06-2012 03:01 AM

Ridiculous amount :laugh:

And unsurprisingly the tasks are still far too easy to pass.:bored:

they need alcohol which takes up a huge chunk of the $$ so its reasonable. i know i could drink 100$ worth of alcohol my self in 2 days

Thats £64 in real money and they are only allowed to spend a percentage of it on alcohol and it is dispensed at the discretion of BB so how much they buy is irrelevant.
They havent shown a single moment this series discussing alcohol purchases so far they are phasing it out of the show slowly so inone and desperate dan dont realise and cry too much.

Yeah, definitely way too much.
