Final Food Shop Of February

 This was probably (except for eggs and salad ) my last food shop of February, photographed again for food-shopping-photo fans!


 

Mostly from Aldi but as I needed to go into town I had to spend £5+ at Asda to get my £1 car park cost back.

Frozen sweet potato fries went straight into the freezer. On the work top is a lovely big British savoy cabbage, strong bread flour (this is Aldi's own brand which I mix with Allinsons more expensive flour for a cheaper loaf in the machine). Cheese and onion rolls, self raising flour, spaghetti,  butter, extra mature cheese, coffee, cocoa, castor sugar (Silver Spoon from Asda as it's made from British sugar beet rather than foreign cane and can be very local ). 4 pints milk, fine egg noodles, hidden at the end are six British apples and 5 British pears. And because I went into QD for some cheap beetroot seed to give to BiL there was  a 'junk food' purchase of a packet of Dunkables - which are broken or mis-shaped chocolate biscuits - somehow they  leapt into my hand!

Total spend £27.51.

There is a post in drafts almost finished ready for Friday which will have all the February shopping photos and the % of UPFs and total food spend.......so much to look forward to!!

  1. It must be something to do with the supermarkets. I often find certain items leaping into my hands for no reason ;)

  2. I shall look forward to Friday, Sue! What it is about other people’s shopping that I find fascinating, I don’t know. Possibly envy as I don’t have access to all these shops.
    Also, with regard to curling-watching, I loved it, as I have for many Winter Olympics. Skill, precision, strength, calm, working together, being supportive of each other. And very, very tense to watch!

  3. I suspect Tunnocks Dark Chocolate Wafers have magnetic wrappings which cause them to jump into the trolley.

  4. I would be quite happy with that. Aldi Wholemeal bread flour was 99p last week, we use half and half. I buy their mixed seeds. We have a new M&S Food opposite Aldi and have tried a few of the Only…Ingredients range. They have shortbread fingers hidden on a bottom shelf which have no UPF nasties, an occasional treat.
