Week Three - Already!!

 


Time is running away with me at the moment.  I have only just worked out the menu for the week, noting down while I did it what I had yesterday.  I have not yet got out from the cupboards or fridge or photographed this weeks rations so I will do that today.


Off the Ration

In the meantime this is all I have bought up to now for this weeks non-rationed food.  One sliced brown loaf from Asda, as that is where I was nearest when I ventured out for a dog walk and fuel.

 Sanity Saver

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.

  1. Your planning is to be commended, well done. I would find anything like this incredibly hard. So I take my hat off to you.

    1. 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.

  4. So 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!

    1. A 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 ;-)

      I 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.

    1. It's getting easier, and I have my little black book to refer to for weights and measurements etc.
