My shopping this week

I love Lidl, so was so happy when one opened in the little Devonshire town that i live in. As you know i have been using up as much as i can in the house but got to a point where i needed to go shopping, so this is what i bought;

• Chestnut mushrooms
• Fresh Cauliflower/Broccoli
• Celery
• Cucumber
• Red Apple
• Lemons
• Potatoes
• Clementines
• Bananas
• 100% fillet fish fingers *to make a quick dinner when time is short!
• Greek Style Yogurt
• Fromage Frais *for little rowan to get some calcium
• Quiche Lorraine *bought to share with my mommy friends!
• Skimmed Milk
• Lean Ham
• Pork Pies *for my husbands lunch
• Unsalted Butter
• Houmous
• Golden Syrup *to make flapjacks for husbands lunch
• Red Lentils
• Chicken Stock Cubes
• Free Range Eggs
• Asparagus and Leek Risotto
• Milk Powder *to make bread with in the bread maker
• Earl Grey Tea *my new favourite drink, bargain at 69p for 25 bags!
• Salsa
• Apple Juice
• Orange squash
• Orange Juice
• Nut mix with raisins *to make trail mix for husbands lunchbox
• chocolate covered peanuts *to make trail mix for husbands lunchbox
• plain tortilla wraps
• crisps *for husbands lunch box
• wholemeal loaf
• chicken Legs
• chicken kievs *another quick easy freezer meal!

This came to £41.93, much better than the £60+ we have been spending per week on groceries!!! I also noticed that all the unhealthy things are for my husbands lunch box, he is a painter and decorator so needs plenty of food to keep him going but i am going to try and make his lunches healthier but still full of energy – any suggestions?

You will be seeing a lot of the above items in the meals i make this week, i am planning to not let anything go to waste!

Some of the things i plan to make include;

• Chicken and Chirizo tray bake
• Lentil and vegetable curry with flat bread
• chicken quesadilla
• chicken chasseur
• vegetarian chilli and corn bread

Right, I need to write up my post from yesterday and then start cooking!
