January Food Thrift: Day 1

January's challenge is Food Thrift.

I am going to attempt to keep my expenditure on food down to less than £10.00 a week (£1.42 a day), while maintaining a healthy diet and eating my 5 a day of fruit and vegetables.

I have a fairly well-stocked food cupboard, which should help me somewhat (plus some left over choccies from Christmas!). I have an order from Approved Foods arriving which I am going to consider as week 2's expenditure even though I placed the order in December - it would be cheating otherwise!

Today I didn't spend anything on food as was just eating leftovers from Christmas and New Year. I haven't got any milk, so will need to go shopping tomorrow for that. My main food shop will be on Sunday, and I'll plan a full week of menus in preparation.

Happy New Year!
