I think though the shopping list prices are at wholesale pricing for foodstuffs, I recall when Harry was mucking about with the shopping list,food colourings were priced at 20p each.
I don't know anywhere that you can get colourings for only 20p a bottle so if that is the case then £10 on food would go a lot further indeed.

They've also never had a hard week in there yet, they have had from £350 to £500 every week and then had extra drink, treats, takeways etc brought in in addition to that.
I've seen other BB series where for 2 and 3 weeks in a row they have had only basic shopping budgets and very little in the way of extra drink too.

I'd still go with Booze and fags for the week and live off the basics. Remember he is up for eviction so he has no idea if he'll even be there for the food. And BB usually gives them treats during the week.

This is it. Since when did BB become so soft?

Last week they had pizzas, mcdonalds etc.

Fair enough, give them some booze if they are being boring, but there is no reason to be stuffing them full of takeaways everynight. Its a wonder everyone else hasnt given up on the tasks too really, why should they try when if they dont they still get what they want?
