I had a total budget of £10.00 to feed myself for these five days and I'm feeling rather chuffed that I've actually achieved that. There were moments where I wavered and could easily have given in and got something extra. Today I justified to myself that I should get fish and chips as a reward for doing the decorating, and then it was an end of holiday treat - but I resisted and cooked the food I'd got.
My spend was £9.86 which has provided three meals a day - I've certainly not gone hungry - supplemented with free apple turnover, free maple and pecan plait and two free croissants and two free 100g chocolate bars - but I've not eaten all of that.
I've got bread, rolls and cereal to carry into the new week and some store cupboard ingredients. H is away from Wednesday so I might be able to get through next week on a tenner too.
Have to keep reminding myself that not working and having three days a week away is my treat/luxury and I don't need anything extra.
