i think it comes from how my mum brought us up...if you cant afford it then you either save up for it or dont get it at all....
yes i know we arent talking about being in debt, but just because you are on benefits doesnt mean that you have to grab things just because you are on benefits, i dont care what anyone says, the money that the state gives you is enough, if you find yourself struggling then you aren't budgeting right
this is just my opinion, i get my money, i pay my bills, buy shopping, buy clothes if needs be and then after everything has been paid what little is left i try to make it go as far as i can

I can see where your coming from Shaz but I still dont agree with some of your points,
If you get enough from the system Shaz then you are one of the lucky ones, There are many out there that cant manage from what they get and it isnt all from not budgeting, I agree there are some scroungers out there and its those people that stop the genuine ones getting what they are rightfully entitled too.
If there is a bogof offer on at your local shop wouldnt you snap the offer up?
I would for sure.
Still think that things like the bt offer shouldnt just stay with IS based families, There are many working families out there that could also do with a helping hand.
I have known Teachers , airline pilots and many other highly paid people that would def grab hold of a bargain if they could, and thats only because Like me they believe that if they are entitled to an offer why shouldnt they take it. after all they do pay into the system.
