Hmmmm, well things kinda went well and they kinda didn't. Firstly, I veered off menu (as mostly happens when I menu plan anyway), but didn't buy anything extra, just used my ingredients in a different way. We didn't have the chicken puff pie, but an aubergine curry with some of the leftover roast chicken thrown in instead. And instead of chilli with sweet potato, we had it with rice. The other issue, was that I ran out of bread and milk halfway through the week. Cue a trip to the local tesco. I then also ran out of butter and all types of oil!!! I was going to top up on all of that just before the challenge, but that felt a bit like cheating so I didn't. I managed to make everything last until the penultimate day, then had to use nothing when I made the chilli, other than the last scrapings of butter from the dish. Adding to all that I commited a minor misdemeanor and bought us some of those big fat chewy white choc chip cookies you get from the supermarket. Kerching, another £1 added to the spend
So, the total spend after the first week, including extras, was 48.54 leaving me £51.46 for the rest of the month......
