    Kat, frozen berries are cheaper. Not sure if they're still on offer (so could be a stupid post!) but Sainsburys had them 3 bags for £5 and I think they might do a value range of them as well, although ours doesn't sell them.

    I don't plan in that I know on Monday we will definately have x, Tuesday it will be definately be y etc as sometimes I know I wouldn't want what I'd planned on that day BUT I always have a rough idea of what we will be eating for the week. For me online shopping (Ocado) and a list is invaluable.
