We have started eating out on Tuesdays when we go to the quiz, but we are having a PullTheHornsIn and SpendAsLittleAsPossible week this week. So pasta and a pack of ready-made stir in sauce, a couple of pieces of salami sliced into ribbons and a sprinkling of parmesan made a quick quick dinner.
What is it they say in Italian? Pronto presto!
I managed to spend only £31.49 on a family of five this week by using what we had already. And not a curried omelette and pickled beetroot salad in sight :)
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is spaghetti with lime and chilli. That's a total of four ingredients if you include the olive oil!
I can't say I have spent that little, mainly because we eat a LOT of fruit, so that (and salad) accounts for perhaps £40 each week.. but that is my main expense so I an not complaining.
DeleteAnd it doesn't hurt us to eat simply most of the time.
