Forward Planning
2pm: Breakfast and lunch today was the same as yesterday, with the exception of a piece of brownie cake. It’s truly the best thing I’ve ever made and should last me all week. Yay!
Must plan ahead a few meals for maximum savings. Tonight I intend to cook a sausage caserole (thanks to MaliA for the suggestion) which should last two or three days. I don’t actually have a caserole dish, so I’ll be popping to the supermarket tonight for that and possibly a couple of ingredients.
Chilli is another suggestion I’ve had quite often, so I think I might cook up a big batch of that tomorrow and freeze it. Mmmmm, chilli.
8pm: Sausage Casserole is cooked!
Another couple of sliced potatoes, all of my sausages, an onion and various seasonings. Took a little while to prepare but it tastes pretty good and there’s enough here for at least 3, if not 4 hearty portions. Anything I don’t eat tonight will be bagged and frozen for another day. Cost: No more than about £4. Result!
Must confess I spent £2.75 in Sainsburys today on a couple of seasonings, some more chopped tomatos, kidney beans, and tomato puree which will be going in tomorrow’s chille 
Total spent so far: £38.01

Total so far: £38.01 - that’s half of your monthly spend. Do you think you’ve got 2 weeks worth of food to eat before you start spending more?
You’re making me hungry, all this talk of food!!!
Keep up the good work

Well, that’s the trick, to see if I can last
