Didn't they just win £583?

Back in the day im sure a luxury shopping budget was £70 to £150 or something.

£583 is a ridiculous amount especially when they cant buy alcohol anymore lol.

[Sam:)]

It had a cap of €300 so thats what they received, thats around the average. I was watching an episode of BB7 not to long ago were the luxury budget was something like €318 and the basic was €78.

Since when can't they buy alcohol on the shopping, I thought they were aloud spend 15% on alcohol

Alcohol is only provided at BB's discretion these days I think.

You never really see them ordering gallons of cider anymore since BB pussyed out and wanted to only give the housemates the recommended alcohol units set by the government.

I don't know how other shows like Geordie Shore get away with all the bing drinking yet BB would get a **** load of complaints, they pretty much get the same ratings now anyway so its the same amount of people there to complain.

They seem to be getting a fair amount of beer and wine this year, there was actually an article on one of the fansites about how they've been provided with drink every night.

As far as I know the producers can't provide them with as much alcohol after fight night.

There's 15 of them though so it only works out at £38.86 each, for a luxury budget that actually sounds crap.

Also are you sure they won £583? I thought that was just the amount they made in the task (to beat the figure in the envelope)

[Dash Darington]

OT, but Steven looks like he's loaded half the time. Helen as well.

[Rob!]

Yeah, spread out over that many people it's really not that great. I do want them to fail next weeks though.

So did I, £583 was the profit they made on the task. If they met or excised BB's target profit of £300 they would win the luxury food budget. I don't think their budget is actually £853?

[Dash Darington]

They made it unnecessarily confusing by using the concept of money as a scorecard for the task. They should have said you get a point for each omelette you make with your mouth, rather than five pounds that you won't actually receive on the shopping budget.

Well as a single person, I've spent a staggering £120 on food and refreshments this week alone and I am not talking alcohol.

What the hell do you eat?!

I spend ~£80-£100 per fortnight on 2 adults and a baby. Including nappies and stuff

[Verbal]

I'm single, living alone and spend around £90-£100 every 3 weeks or so. For fifteen people it is not a huge amount.
