Wow!

I decided, while updating the 'Saved from Landfill' page, to do a running total of how much we had spent and how much we could have spent. Some of the prices are a best guess and I know some of the items could have been bought in the sales, etc. But the rough total shocked me, honestly. I know we have spent £44 pounds between 15/05 and 30/05 and that made me feel uneasy as that is almost a weeks groceries BUT we could have spent.....£1126.47 a saving of £1082.47!!!! In percentage terms, that's 96%!!! But what comes to mind is, why, why, why didn't we do this when times were good? Answers on a postcard please....
