Week 2 Day 4

Half-way There

Breakfast

Porridge

Porridge = 8p

sugar = 1p.

Minestrone soup flat bread



Minestrone soup
Garlic bread
Cup of tea

The photo is deceptive, there seems to be only a tiny amount of soup but there was quite a lot, and I have put some in the fridge tomorrow.

1/2 carrot = approx. 6p.
Potato =  approx. 5p.
Pasta sauce = 12p.
Celery = 10p.
1/2 stock cube = 2p.
Spaghetti = approx. 2p
 = 37/2 = 19p
Garlic bread = 8p
Total = 27p.
Since the breads that I made previously, today I cut down the flour by an ounce, so the breads were thinner and smaller.

Dinner



fish cakes tomatoes and a cup of tea



Sardine fish cakes
Tomatoes .
Garlic bread
Cup of tea

Sardines = 40p.

Potatoes = 15p.

Tomatoes = 8p.

Garlic bread = 8p.

Total= 71p

I decided to make fish cakes with my 40p. can of sardines, so I used 20p. for potatoes leaving me with a grand total of 4p to carry over to next week.

Tea and milk = 5p 
Total = 5p.

Total daily expenditure = 1.12p

Today I was 12p. over my daily budget, as soon as you start to introduce meat or fish into the diet, the price shoots up making it very difficult to have a truly healthy diet on £1 a day.
