Confession: Last Thursday I went shopping at ASDA.
My wonderful neighbour that I have been telling you guys about mentioned that she was going to go to ASDA that day and I really wanted to go. I had made a simple list of things I wanted to buy. I still hadn't bought any olive oil or flour and I just wanted to get these two things, oh and a swiffer to mop up the floors.
But as always, when you go to the store you end up buying more than you anticipated. Although in my defence I bought more non-perishable items than perishable.
I bought loads of flour and some sauces. I also bought yeast for breads and baking sheets. I bought some spices and olive oil, things that are pantry essentials to food go from good to great! Oh and I had to buy some cleaning supplies.
I didn't buy that many things as my total bill came to 20 quid. These things should last longer than necessary so I don't know if I would count it as shopping for found for the month.
So that makes my monthly total up to about 70 quid. A little less but lets round up.
This week is vegetarian week and so far I've made rice and beans and tomato, basil baked pasta. Tomorrow I'm making a vegetarian pot pie.
Hope you guys can all forgive me. Technically I am still cooking off of the 43 quid that I spent at Aldi on Oct 1st.
I still have half the month to go and I know for sure I can make it. What do you guys think? Does this count as my monthly cost for food? I'm really hoping that I can cook food for the two of us for 40-60 quid a month. Lately we've been having some people visit so it's always costly to host dinner parties but so far it works.
I still have two frozen chickens in the freezer along with some ground beef and turkey.
Will post pictures of this weeks vegetarin adventures.
