How many McDonalds is acceptable to eat in your diet

By Dominic On August 25, 2009 1 Comment

I love a McDonalds for a quick fix but how many McDonalds is acceptable to eat in your diet? There has been a lot of bad press recently especially in Europe for families eating way too many McDonalds and it effecting their children’s health. For me though the idea of fast food is for special occasions and should never be taken to these levels.

I love all kinds of fast food outlets but my favourites are McDonalds, KFC and Pizza hut. I am not much a fan of Burger King as I don’t find their food that nice.

Enjoying the leftovers: Finally save money on your family budget

By Dominic On August 24, 2009 1 Comment

In this day and age it is such ashame if you waste food whether you are on a budget or not. The sight of rotting food in the back of the fridge is the last thing you want to see but how can you stop it?

Even if you write an amazing shopping list and don’t overspend things come up and a certain planned meal can soon be forgotten about. Remember all those times you have gone into the freezer and discovered that the meat you had planned to eat sometime this week is past its due by date. You start getting cross with yourself that you wasted money on a nice piece of food only to have to throw it in the bin.
