Thought I might keep this going. (It’s marginally less depressing to think of as a bit of challenge!). We have had a few treats this week, as there was a good olio pick up locally, and I sold some things for more than I budgeted for.

Breakfast are eggs or cereal for DD, coffee and biscuits for me. She takes jam or cheese sandwiches, crisps and choc bars for lunch, and also buys stuff with her pocket money. After school snacks are toast, breakfast bars, crumpets and olio goodies. I rarely eat lunch but there is always soup if I feel like it.
I scored pastries, sweet potatoes and mushrooms from Olio and my mum gave me bacon and Parmesan out of her fridge as she is going away, and I gave her a lift to the airport.

Came to £18.17. I also bought custard and rich tea fingers from Tesco for £2.30. I did go slightly over budget, but like I said, it didn’t matter so much this week. As before, I get eggs from a friend, olive oil from my mother, I bulk buy sacks of flour and I grow a lot of our vegetables. This week I will use parsley, basil, potatoes, carrots, onions, kale and beans.
