Breakfast: (Leftover) Pancakes, Apples
Lunch: (Leftover) Potato Salad, cupcakes, tinned fruit salad
Dinner: Shepherds Pie (had a tray of mince left for last week's shopping)
Snacks: We went out and I had $4 to spend...the kids chose non-msg chips, and
hashbrown nuggets for us to cook when we got home....we also ate homemade
raspberry sorbet.
Time to shop again tomorrow, and we have plenty still to eat. Only cabbage, a bit of lettuce and cucumber for vege though, and 2 apples. I really feel like some chocolate, and maybe even some Coke :0( I asked if anyone else feels like they're missing anything and noone is. Well, Tombliboo would like more bananas. I don't know how to make them last a week...will try to buy one lot of green ones. An old (and frugal) friend of mine used to put bananas in a brown paper bag in the hot water cupboard...but that may have been to ripen them.
So cool you have this...some very ueful tips, esp. the personal hygeine section. We have a strict budget now and have never had one before. I like it. We are trying to stick to $200 a week for food and other little things we might need, not including power, phone, puter etc..Food is so expensive here but it is one area we don't want to scimp on...am so far finding we run out of money well before 'payday' but it's quite good in a way, it means we get creative about what to do about it...and it makes us appreciate working for money so much more.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I quite like being creative like that too...then I start thinking if we were that creative on the first few days after being paid- we could save a truckload. Come see me soon :0)
