I haven't done one of these for months so I decided it was about time I did. I'm now trying to just shop twice a month (maybe with a top up for fresh stuff, if needed) and I do have some stuff left which has now been placed at the front to get used first.
So . . off we go!
Tomatoes, leaves, cucumber, celery, peppers and radishes.
I also use raw carrots, cauli and cabbage in salads.
I am looking forward to picking my own home grown tomatoes and cucumbers in a couple of months.
Fruit:
I got quite a lot this time, since I discovered the glass jar hack and also because there's more choice as sprint turns slowly into summer.
I wonder what my garden strawberries will be like.
Veg:
I was quite low on all sorts of veg so - potatoes, sweet potatoes, two cabbages (red and white), cauliflower, carrots, green beans, broccoli, baby corn and mushrooms.
Loads of speed veg there.
Dairy and eggs.
Loads of speed veg there.
Lots of eggs - I do seem to get through an awful lot of them. I also treated myself to some lighter creme fraiche which I will need to syn, of course, plus the usual yogurt and milk.
Packets and stuff.
I prefer the tins of mixed bans to the mixed bean 'salad' (not the least salady!) and a couple of cans will do me a while. The pink pickled onion was recommended - it's shredded red onion in a sweet spiced liquid and it's really rather nice.
I needed replacement SR flour, basmati rice, noodles and baking powder and, although I had some dishwasher tablets, now I have enough to see the month through and some!
And finally - meat.
Apologies for the jelly - I missed it out of the last photo!
Not a lot of meat as there's plenty in the freezer. I split the pork mince into 5 x 100g amounts for one-person convenience, and the bacon medallions are split into two rasher portions.
Both then go into the freezer for whenever needed.
I was really pleased that it was less than expected and even more pleased that I was able to pay with what's left of this month's money. Win win!
