Barber cools optimism on loan striker

[Ninja Elephant]

I have no idea what you mean by that. Is the weekly shopping the hotel because it will sustain us and the £10 meant to reflect us not having enough money to cover it, or is it the loan signing because it won't last forever and the £10 representative of money that could be prioritised elsewhere? Is the £10 meant to represent all we've got, or is it not spent on shopping because we need it to pay for the gas or electric so we don't freeze to death? Why aren't we spending the money on the weekly shopping, isn't that a good investment. Sure it won't be a big shop, but with what we've got in the store cupboards and some smart buys we could do a shop that covers us for the next week.

Should we do the weekly shop in aldi's or lidl's?

I really don't know how you meant that metaphor.

Classic case of over thinking what is a really simple principle. If you haven't got the money, you can't spend it. If you want an Amex pie, a pound isn't going to be enough. Etc.
