Dear Madam, Dear Sir,


Could you please tell me if the below sentences are correct?

"I would like to spend as few £ as possible" (with countable nouns)


Thanks for your help.

" The general pattern "as few + plural noun + as possible" is fine. However, in this particular case, more often we would say "I would like to spend as little ( money) as possible".
