Yesterday I bought petrol plus spent £2.20 on some biscuits to say thank you to me letting agent for looking after my house for the past few years.
I'm also thinking (like some previous pps) that I don't need to go food shopping this week. We have all sorts in the freezer (frozen blueberries, strawberries, peas, sweetcorn, sausages, leftover roast beef minced, leftover curry sauce etc) plus lots of basics like bread flour, tinned tomatoes, coconut milk, baked beans, porridge oats, lentils, rice, pasta, cheddar cheese etc from our monthly Costco trip. And some of last weeks veg in the fridge (half a cauliflower, half a cabbage, a couple of carrots, a leek, 2 green peppers, butternut squash, red onions, garlic, ginger). I think I can probably make 2 weeks worth of food from that lot!
I'm thinking butternut squash curry, lentil curry, cottage pie, toad in the hole, veg soup, lentil soup, stir fry and rice, pizza, various pasta dishes...
The scary thing is that usually we would go off shopping on a Saturday morning and buy a load more food - looking at my list above we clearly don't need to!! Yes, we have run out of a few things - like yogurt, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc, but we have plenty of other food that we can use instead.
What an eye opener!!
