The Food Poverty Line: provisional shpping list

[purplerabbits]

So I start on Friday and so far I have a sort-of shopping list, which will be honed over the next few days. So far it goes:

100g dirt cheap coffee (see previous note about coffee) - 47p (Tesco price)
2 times 2 litres milks - £1.80 (Farmfoods)
Half of a 1 kilo bag of oats 37p (Tesco)
1 Garlic 22p (Tesco)
Half of a 1 kilo bag of rice 17p (Tesco, I am not making these prices up)
Tesco value pasta 500g 25p
1Kg carrots 50p (Farmfoods, price only available if you buy two bags, so I'm sharing with my imaginary friend)
2 tins Tesco value kidney beans 30p
Half of a 450g cheese from Farmfoods £1.25
Bag onions from Lidl 29p
Tesco value curry powder 44p
Tesco value pasta sauce 3 jars 54p (yes, this works out cheaper than value tinned tomatoes)
Tesco value ground black pepper 19p
Half a big tub of Tesco value soya marge 38p
Half a back of red chillis 22p (cheaper than chilli powder, weirdly
Lidl cooking bacon £1.44
Half a tub of Tesco value mixed herbs 10p
Tesco value soft cheese 200g 40p
500g red lentils 88p
900g Frozen peas  85p
A 10p bag of plain flour I got in the pound shop cos it's out of code
Half a bag of TVP Mince 85p (Holland and Barrett)
Half a bag of Sultanas 0.5 0.84 0.42
6 peppers for £1.25 (Tesco)

By my sums that leaves 20p...
I may change my mind about the peppers if I find more bulk of veg cheaper, which is quite likely.

Things not on the list: eggs, bread, anything sweet at all including sugar, tea, any kind of drink except coffee, any meat except bacon

This is going to be all kinds of fun
