€96.40 on a disappointing dinner out for 4
I am always so disappointed when that happens.
Or when you plan something as a treat an it just doesn't work out that way.
We're beginning to see some gaps opening up in our pantry inheritance but it will probably still provide the backbone of what we eat for another year (for which I'm thankful).
However, I admit that we bought some meal replacement mixes for DH (£130 or thereabouts). These were more expensive than some on the market but I know that they had to mix in easily (within seconds) and just involve a shake, not a blender. They also had to taste good and have an acceptable composition. He's pleased with the ones that we bought and they should give him some choice over the next few months. And, to be fair, I'd have happily have paid privately for Monjaro injections for him if I thought it would have helped so this is substantially cheaper.
If there's one thing that DH's current health investigations are highlighting to him it's that he needs to shed much of the weight he gained. The payment for the mixes is about to come due which is why it's on my mind but, in combination with greater commitment to the Peloton, he's dropped about 9lbs or 4kg.
We'll see what unfolds.
