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!!
It must be something to do with the supermarkets. I often find certain items leaping into my hands for no reason ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's a real problem!
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteAlso, 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!

I have Aldi, Morrisons Tesco in one direction 10 miles and Asda, Tesco Aldi and Lidl in the other direction 7 miles. In the village a very expensive small shop!
DeleteLoved the curling although lots of people don't enjoy any sports
I suspect Tunnocks Dark Chocolate Wafers have magnetic wrappings which cause them to jump into the trolley.
ReplyDeleteThat's something that hasn't hopped into my basket yet
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteAldi wholemeal bread flour is £1.19 here - or it was a couple of weeks ago. We keep being promised an M&S food shop but it hasn't materialised yet!
DeleteAh yes, we all need Leaping Treats occasionally! A very frugal shop. I am spoiling myself with beef casserole tonight and tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteBeef is one of those things that I just don't like anymore.
DeleteEnjoy your casserole.
UPF is the latest health awareness. It's overtaken daily step count and 'a rainbow of vegetables/fruit' in our consciousness.
ReplyDeleteIs it a something that we should worry about - that is the question!
DeleteThat's a lovely looking Savoy Cabbage!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought - they've not had any for a while probably due to the rain.
DeleteThe cabbage looks so fresh-coleslaw, in a stir fry, shedded into soup are three ways I would use it-yummy. Catriona
ReplyDeleteIt will last me for several days, I just like it steamed and stir-fry
