A bag full of bread and veg for £1.81!

£6.45 worth of food for £1.81!

Apologies for the lack of blogs of late but I'm back and ready for action in 2013!

Got a great bag of shopping for next to nothing tonight in our local Tesco Express. Four bags of carrots down from 68p to 14p, two packs of celery down from £1 to 45p, a pack of naan breads down from 84p to 17p, and a bag of rolls down from 89p to 18p - and the date on the rolls isn't up for another two days yet! Bargain!

So it looks like carrot soup is going to be on the menu soon - anyone got any favourite recipes to share?! By coincidence I'd already got some carrot and coriander soup out of the freezer for tomorrow's lunch at work - I may be sick of carrots by the end of the week!

Think I shall set myself a challenge this week of having a packed lunch for work that costs no more than £1 per day - other than New Year's Day of course when I shall be at the parentals having a Christmas dinner! I'll let you know how I get on!
