Sunday turned out to be extremely cold, with alternate snow and showers of rain, so we stayed indoors as much as possible. It was half price electricity day so the washer, dishwasher and tumble dryer came into play. I also cooked lunch in the oven making roast potatoes, roast parsnips and onion rings which we ate with the last of the carrots from Christmas, some sprouts from the allotment, and some peas for protein, topped with vegetarian gravy. Delicious!
Whilst the oven was on, I made flapjacks with the last of the porridge oats and a bit of dried fruit. Oops....someone had to test them for quality 😉
Other than feeding the birds and dealing with the tumble dryer, which is in the garage, we stayed in the warm.
I did manage to get a bit of cardmaking done, luckily; after finishing chores on Saturday afternoon and then again after 3pm on Sunday. I'll share my makes in another post.
Today we decided to do our shop for the week as the snow had melted and there was just drizzle. It's forecast for more snow later in the week and we didn't want to wait and then miss the chance to go out. This is what we bought ......
It came to a total of £22.57 I had Nectar points worth £22.50 so the shopping came to 7p in cash 👍 I didn't intend to buy bread but this loaf was just 40p, too good to miss. I've put it into the freezer and can make bread pudding later in the month......
We ate the stir fry for lunch to warm us up and tonight I will be making cider veggie hotpot using the onion, broccoli, one leek and some carrots ( I already have potatoes and cheese) which will serve 4 portions. That's dinner/tea for 2 days sorted 👍😁
We will share the veg biryani and naan bread on another day......
Nectar points spent: Graham £10.00 Angie £22.50
Cash spent: 77p
Thanks for popping in. Stay safe and well wherever you happen to be,
Angie 💗

Wow! You are the Queen of Nectar points! How wonderful to be able to get all that for just 7 pence in cash!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bless, I feel really grateful to have all that 'free' food and a little extra will go into the food bank this week from my own allowance.

ReplyDeleteI loved seeing all the shopping you managed to purchase. I would love to to receive Nectar points. We have flybuy points here in Oz and for every $1 spend you receive 1 point. To get $10 off your shopping you need to collect 2,000 points, still it better than nothing😉
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, that's half the value of Nectar points 😱 and in addition we can get extra points on certain things we buy each week. That's how I built up the total. I do realise how lucky I am to be in the scheme. As you say, Manchester Lass, something is better than nothing......
