This week I have chosen a tub of ready made hummus as my Sanity Saver. This was picked up on an outing to the chemist for Alan's prescription, combined with another dog walk. Alan needed supplies from the Co-op so I went too.
It feels a bit bitty this week and I feel completely out of routine after my emergency trip back to Wales, but I am determined to get back to normal over the course of today. I will find my MR £2.96 worth of healthy foods from my own back-up stores if I can as I really do not want to go into any more shops.
Living off my Modern Rations and trying not to shop is proving as wearisome as it must have felt shopping for your foodstuffs during the actual war. I was going to say 'but not as dangerous' because although we have no bombs dropping or threat of them, but we do have a completely different danger at the moment that is keeping us indoors.
Once again we are being asked to listen to our Prime Minister and Government and follow their guidelines ... and it really is the least we can do.

Your planning is to be commended, well done. I would find anything like this incredibly hard. So I take my hat off to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, and welcome on board. I hadn't realised you hadn't found me up to now.
DeleteI agree with Tania above but won't take my hat off to you as it's too cold and windy!
ReplyDeleteHaha ... I don't blame you at all, and too bloody wet here ... I need a sou'wester :-)
DeleteGood girl!
ReplyDeleteHahaha 😁
DeleteLove your MR plan for this week. You will be eating well.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Yes, if I shop from my stores and pick out the healthiest things I will not have to venture out to any shops at all this week. Now I just have to see what I have and what they would cost me to buy them this week and use that as my guide.
DeleteSo is your “shopping” our pantry making a dent in your supplies? I still pretty well stocked but saving a lot money this month. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteA slight dent yes, the frozen foods and my supply of fats, cheese etc in the fridge have been shopped from for three weeks now and are really diminishing ... I can fit things into the fridge properly at last and I have space in the freezer!! Things in the kitchen cupboard are going down a bit, but I have back-up stores ;-)
DeleteI am saving such a lot of money already it's unbelievable, I should have kept a proper total of what I spend when I go out. I may do that next month just to see.
Great planning, I don't think I could get my head round it! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's getting easier, and I have my little black book to refer to for weights and measurements etc.
