I shop at Morrisons or waitrose alternately for my main shops and I do buy different products from each but my spend is about the same. I buy the offers and essential ranges and the quality rarely disappoints. The overall shopping experience is very good too plus if you have their loyalty card you get a couple of coupons and a neros coffee if you take your own cup. They do some unusual products as well. I also visit farmfoods too.

Out of curiosity, what weight range do you consider to be healthy? I have watched all your week ons and everything else, but if memory serves, you are rarely more than 20 pounds above or below 200 pounds. I have no idea how serious you are at times when commenting on your weight. You are actually pretty healthy from my point of view and i find these things super interesting. I admit i also enjoy wn you say screw it and spoil yourself because while being healthy is important part of that is knowing it is ok to indulge yourself now and then. Basil is still my favorite and i love that he got a toy for xmas so similar to what i got my cat!
