The Big Apple, bread-making & buying printer ink – this week's MSE Forum highlights
When taking up a hobby or fitness regime it can be tempting to spend loads of cash on new gear. This week on the MSE Forum we heard from a Forumite who's into running but doesn't want to pay more than they need to for a decent pair of shoes.

Money Moral Dilemma
Every week, the Money Tips email features a real-life Money Moral Dilemma (MMD for short). They're intended to encourage debate and, as such, they're usually among the most discussed threads each week.
Should my friends gift my only child more money since they each have two kids?
My five friends and I are all parents and we get each other's children Christmas gifts. This year we've agreed not to buy toys, but to give each child £30 for their junior ISAs instead. I have one child, while my five friends each have two - if we go through with this, I'll be spending £300 on their children while our household will only get £150 from them. Should I ask my friends to each give my child £60?
