Food Poverty days 3 and 4
Wow, porridge is seriously filling. I brought some to work to eat at my desk and am not nearly ready for lunch yet. I found the same at the weekend when I basically didn't eat lunch at all, but I did find that I was suddenly STARVING TO DETH at 3 or 4pm, so I have bought soup to work with me cos I am trying not to be an idiot.
So anyway. Yesterday consisted of a mini portion of leftover chilli (which was as good as predicted and made three portions and a bit), a mini portion of porridge (actually two spoons of oats eaten with a spoon, which allowed me to go to kntting and drink water and not cry at all the cakes), a raw carrot and a dinner made of pasta, bacon and the remains of the courgette.
Yes, I am aware that that is about 3 portions of veg, which is not ideal.
I did the last of my food shopping yesterday, and have now spent £13.97, which is about as close to the line as I could get. If anyone knows of anything you can get for 3p do let me know. The final shopping was a reduced cauliflower from Sainsbury and a similarly bargain plain yoghurt. I will put up the full shopping list when I'm at home :-)
Today will contain: nummy porridge with raisins (already consumed), carrot daal soup made by me in vast quantities on Saturday and containing about 2 portions of veg, and something or other for tea. I am currently thinking caulflower cheese, but if I'm not careful all of the cheese will be GONE and I will cry, so I may settle for pasta again. I could add a carrot and onion and some TVP mince to the frankly rather thin bargain pasta sauce, which would count as some more veg...
