Just did the first shop in preparation for 2013 as I wanted to get loads of cheap bargains especially meat, veg etc. Well, apparently 2 hours prior to the shop closing was too late and pretty much everything had gone :o( I did however manage to pick up some treats for us which will be a nice pick-us-up for when we want something sweet to eat. We bought 6 tubs of Tesco finest custard £1.50 down to 15p each (will go into freezer and is cheaper by 2p than buying value tins of custard. Value powder is 7p but milk is needed too), 3 boxes of 2 Fresh cream strawberry jam slices £1.19 down to 18p (unfortunately can't be frozen so we will eat one each tonight and the same tomorrow night), 3 boxes of 4 fresh cream Belgian chocolate eclairs £1.28 down to 19p each (to go in freezer), fresh egg noodles £1 down to 15p, 2 packets of stir fry veg and beansprouts £1 down to 10p each - these 3 will be for dinner tomorrow night along with the 3 chops I took out the freezer today. In effect tomorrows dinner will cost 35p :oD although I'm sure Ayse won't want the stir fry so she will have just noodles and raw carrot with hers, but still so cheap :oD Just wish we had have gotten loads of meat bargains. Oh well, never mind... Maybe they'll close for Easter Sunday and I can stock up then? :oD
So besides them bargains, I bought:
Loo rolls x6, 400 sheets - £1.96
Sugar 1kg - £4.50
Eggs x15 - 1.79
Longlife milk - 53p
Dairy spread for baking - 89p
Salt - 34p
Tinned pineapple - 32p
Soup mix - £1.09
Cannelini beans - £1.09
Diced chicken - £2.94
Carrots - 89p
Onions - 69p
Mushrooms - 50p
Grand total = £19.89
Am gunna try and not get any more food this week so it will keep it to £20. I'm gunna get Mike to bake some bread when this loaf runs out - I think we have all the ingredients in the cupboard. Might have to buy some fruit. We shall see, I can't quite remember what we have. Definitely gunna cook from the freezer and cupboards where possible this week, get us off to a good start :oD
Hugs xx
