You call yourself hardcore fans? Pfft!

No. No. No.

Basic shopping budget and basic rations are two different things sweetie.

Basic shopping budget is just the minimal amount of money available to buy that week's shopping.

Basic rations is no shopping at all, just getting fed BB's slop or other tiny meal that is provided at meal times. But nothing in the kitchen for the housemates to snack on/prepare themselves.

A basic shopping budget is what they get for failing that week's shopping task as per most series of BB. Basic rations is what they get during specific tasks/twists such as the poor/rich divide in BB3.
