I still had quite a few bits and pieces left yesterday, so they all went in the slow cooker: mince turkey, a pepper, a courgette, ¾ of a red onion, the tin of red kidney beans, the jar of Everyday Value pasta sauce and some vegetable stock and mixed herbs. I made four portions and I think it was about 90p a portion. With the free pasta from the Orchard Programme and left over broccoli, this was a pretty tasty dish, with plenty left over!
I needed bread and found this in Tosca. Several days later, it's still fine in the kitchen - absolutely fine! It does make you wonder why one loaf lasts and lasts and then another one is green and gross within a couple of days.
Anyway, tomorrow I can come off the 'diet'. Will I? Well, yes and no. I am certainly going to keep my shopping costs down, but I am looking forward to having some 'nicer' extras backin my diet. And then there is the small matter of the Food Bank shop. I've saved approximately £60 this month and Tosca have oblidged by sending me a £10 voucher, for a £70 spend. Ahhhh, they must have been missing me ;p
So you know what I am going to do...I'll put my shop in full price at £70, wait for it to drop half price, add £1 delivery and then deduct the £10 voucher. £70 for £26. I think that will make quite a nice donation :D
I find the bread thing strange too. I used to wonder if it was weather related, linked to handling the loaf or linked to air getting into the bread bin. Still have no idea but some brands do last longer than others; just I can;t remember which!
