Saturday is curry day
Woke up this morning and made my own cup of tea
Breakfast
 |
| porridge cup of tea |
Cup of tea
Total = 9p.
Lunch
 |
| lentil soup and a cup of tea |
Lentil, tomato and rice soup
Cup of tea
soup total = 29/2=15p
Soup total = 15p.
Eric remarked that I seem to be restricting myself to soup for each day's lunch, which is more or less true, but soup is an excellent way of making food stretch, and it has all the advantages of being filling and healthy. Today I just threw everything in the pot together and came out with a tasty soup, and enough to last for two meals.
Dinner
 |
| split pea curry, rice and a cup of tea |
Yellow split pea curry
Rice
A cup of tea
Curry = 36p.
Rice =6p.
Total = 42p.
Tea and milk = 5p.
Total = 5p
Daily total = 71p.
While planning my meals for today I realised that lentils and split peas were the only forms of protein that I had left (split peas seem to last forever!). So I spent another 98p. on kidney beans and some more vegetables and spices and that brings my total expenditure for the week up to £6.58, so I now have 42p. left.
