What’s on your menu this week?
Linking up to I’m an Organizing Junkie
******
Two thousand pounds for the whole year?
Heavens.
That’s £38 a week.
How many of you is that to feed? And does it include non-food stuff?
Hi Penny! Yep lol. It’s for 2/2.5 of us – my son is home from uni in the holidays. It also includes non food stuff. I use a very limited amount of other stuff – clean with vinegar, soda crystals etc, don’t buy paper products apart from loo rolls
Soup for a solo dinner is where it’s at!
I had my lentil soup & banana bread combination for a week when M was traveling. He’s gone again in a week or so, & I have a batch of chili in the freezer. I’m also thinking of making a potato soup. My favorite. 
I’m so bad – I open a tin!! Must, must start making my own!!
