£840 Shopping Budget
 
In last nights highlights I heard Marcus say they would get £840 if they pass the shopping task.

Is that too much for one weeks food?

billy123 21-06-2012 04:29 PM

Thats a retarded amount especially with all the takeaways they get they only used to get £70 in BB2.

Jezzy 21-06-2012 04:30 PM

It's a ridiculously high amount. How many of them are there, 15? I'd be demanding tuna steak and beef fillet.

Omah 21-06-2012 04:31 PM

I could last for a year on that ..... :idc:

joeysteele 21-06-2012 04:33 PM

I'd say yes, however there are 15 of them in there though, so it comes down to £8 a day each,of course the prices they pay seem lower than general retail overall.
Also in addition,they get extra alcohol and takeaways etc; too so I will stick with yes it is.

As family of four we average 100.00 a week on food shopping, so I would say this is way over the top, presumably they have had to make allowances as Becky is obviously counted as a family of 4.:devil:

i hit no by mistake on the poll tho...

armand.kay 21-06-2012 04:39 PM

If I was in there I would demand to spend it all on booze. :joker:

Blink_Me 21-06-2012 04:39 PM

Someone should buy £700 worth of bananas.

daniel-lewis-1985 21-06-2012 04:40 PM

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.

Josy 21-06-2012 04:41 PM

They even used to bake their own bread

Mrluvaluva 21-06-2012 04:41 PM

£8 a day to go towards food, booze, tobacco etc, plus bog rolls and other sundries. I don't think that's too much at all.

Black Dagger 21-06-2012 04:43 PM

It's a ridiculous amount, even for 15 people. Especially when they get food throughout the week for **** all anyway.

smeagol 21-06-2012 04:43 PM

sounds about right actually you got 14 housemates and then becky so all together thats works out about 19 housemates to feed

flamingGalah! 21-06-2012 05:10 PM

No, afterall they need to keep their chosen one Becky stocked up don't they...

:rolleyes:

Is it tiring being so paranoid all the time?

Marsh. 21-06-2012 05:13 PM

Yeah, I miss the days of growing their own vegetables, taking care of the chickens etc.

THAT was the Big Brother experience. lol

Gillian-73 21-06-2012 05:14 PM

Yes...... far to much! Plenty of hms from earlier series would have cut their own arms off for that budget :D

arista 21-06-2012 05:22 PM

They need to Fail the task.

Maia 21-06-2012 05:31 PM

Way too much

Marc 21-06-2012 05:40 PM

Way too much! That's more than what Jimmy Carr gets!

It's WAY too much. They shouldn't be living in luxury. It's a joke.

I was talking to a friend today about baking bread, & got me thinking they used to do that on BB, they were the good all days.:spin:

£8 per day is hardly extravagance towards all the things needed. Would you rather they were miserable and have them moaning all day? Mind you, that would not see a change in some people..

Becky counts as 3.
