I did my weekly shopping today. I spent £60 and I am confident I will have enough food for the whole week, except for milk. I will have to buy some either at the end of the week (Sunday) or on Monday.
(I will post the shopping list soon).
Menu for tomorrow:
Breakfast: cereal with full fat milk (there is no point in buying semi- or skimmed milk - it's cheaper to drink water!). Children sometimes ask for a small sandwich (toast or bread with butter and a slice of cooked ham/chicken roll)
Lunch: children get sandwiches (either white or brown bread with butter and ham), half an apple each; two small cookies each, drink (water and some juice in another bottle). Grown ups - sandwiches and cup of tea.
Dinner: Strictly not throwing any food away, which means, before I go to bed, I check for leftovers in the fridge to be used up the following day.
Always: any home made soup plus the main dish. Tomorrow we'll be finishing a vegetable soup plus I will make some tomato soup.
Main dish: meat left over from today with freshly cooked potatoes and apple pieces for salad. For dessert: either a cake (e.g.swiss roll) or one chocolate digestive bar. My children are not brought up on junk food. I don't buy crisps - they don't supply any energy and are expensive for a tiny amount.
