Day 1 of Poverty Line Foods
Today's foods came to only two meals cos I woke up late and had eaten ALL THE MEAT yesterday at Matt's birthday do. So I went shopping first and then ate porridge made with a few raisins, a couple of cups of coffee and for tea, a variation on what I am sure is a Cooking in a Bedsitter dish: bacon, cabbage, onion and rice with a spoon of pasta sauce fired up in and eaten out of a frying pan. It was nom, actually.
I still have a bit of shopping to do, but so far I have spent 11ponds and 8p so my remaining £2.92 will have to go quite a way. I can also affirm that shopping while hungry and with only a few quid on you is excruciating and should be avoided. I should really have eaten the prrodge before shopping instead of after...
So here is all the food I have so far:
Proteins (with a certain amount of fat): 2 tins Tesco value kidney beans, 500g lentils, a giant slab of Lidl cooking bacon, half a bag of soya mince and (unless I decide not to buy something else), only half of this 400g of cheese. To last a fortnight. Hmm.
Veg and a tiny bit of fruit consists on 500g carrots, 500g onions (I have the option of getting the same again for both of those), 1 small cabbage, a small butternut squash and a courgette (all on special offer at Lidl), 2 jars of pasta sauce, a pack of passata, a bargain tin of value tomato soup, a garlic and only half of this bag of sultanas...
And the rest... 500g rice, a kilo of flour, a single yeast sachet, 4 litres milk, 500g oats (in the biscuit tin), 10g mixed dried herbs, 32g curry powder, and five veggie stock cubes.
Not shown cos I forgot, 100g coffee and some oil.
