A little side salad made with mostly apfs and the expensive looking mini leaves were thinnings from the garden. It tasted so good. |
The fish pie was pretty great too. |
I went into Morrisons to get some sugar as I want to make some marmalade for my parents and they have 2k bags for 88p which is pretty good.
While there I hit some YS stuff. A bag of little oranges for 19p, three of which needed 'dealing' with so it was really just seven by the time I'd removed the squished segments.
Then I saw bundles of asparagus. Actually, they had loads of asparagus, it hadn't sold well. I only got one bundle because it did look a bit tough so I will have it in a quiche or something. For now it will be prepped and frozen. I wonder if I can make soup from the more woody stems. Anyone know?
And then, as I was wandering past the hot food area, a lady was reducing the long sausage rolls. If gave way and bought a bag and when I got home there were not four in, there were five. Someone had miscounted. So that was good too. They are in the freezer but I might spoil myself with one for a picnic lunch during the week.
For someone who doesn't do YS much, I was well pleased.
So, the budget.Today I spent 94p
Budget so far £14.00
Spent: £11.91
Money in hand: £2.09
I've made soup with the woody end of the asparagus lots of times - I always puree those soups rather than leave them chunky (which is how I usually prefer my soups - chunky) and its fine. But I haven't made asparagus soup that way, it's always been as part of a broccoli (or broccoli & cauliflower) soup just to add a little twist to the flavour
