This Week's Question
This week's question is from Denise, who is battling stockpile fairies.
Denise writes
"I have a 15 yr old son who is the pickiest eater, the only thing he will have for breakfast is an ‘Up and Go’ breakfast drink. This is not the problem, I shop well and stock up when they are half price, and at least I know he is getting a decent breakfast. The problem is, when he knows there are a lot of them, they will disappear at a rapid rate. I don’t particularly like hiding food around the house (and it seems my stockpile is invisible unless there is something they want like chocolates or biscuits)…and I’ve tried explaining the money implications to him, but it doesn’t seem to matter. Any ideas on how to hide his Up and Gos? I often buy a few slabs at a time, so they aren’t small or light. Thanks:)"
If you have a suggestion or idea for Denise, let us know. We'll enter your answer into our Tip of the Week competition, with a one-year membership to the Cheapskates Club as the prize too.
