Food
Ok. I need somewhere to keep track of my shopping. I know this is very boring, so please feel free to leave, I won't be offended :) We need to seriously pull the reins in financially, but I don't have the time (60hr week, courses, family demands) to go to the market or Aldi/Lidl. So we have paid for a delivery deal with Tesco ( I know, booooo!) and I am trying their Everyday Value Range this week. I need to keep a note of what is palatable and what isn't so I remember to buy/not but it again. So here is this week's shopping list....

I bought sweet & sour sauce and tissues in bulk because they were on offer. I won't be buying the chicken goujons again, as the meat content is only 50%, the other 50% is wheat & pea starch. Toffees are for a road trip at the weekend. All of this came to £42.79 as I had a £15 off voucher, but it did include £10 spent on tissues (a work expense) and £2.60 on sweet & sour sauce that I won't be spending weekly. I'll have to top up with milk, bread and fresh fruit, but I feel it's a good start. Menu planning next ......
