Shopping was a bit different this month, not too much bought, so I could eat mainly from the freezer and cupboards.

.
Total £8.72
£59.63 so far
Plus then there was about £7 on somethings I can't remember and didn't photograph and lost the receipt and birthday meals out with YD and EGD.
I've written a list of what's still in the freezers for main part of meals and there's enough for most of November. I'd better find out if anyone in the local family has room in their freezers for a few things that I won't eat before moving but don't want to chuck - like a big bag of this years sliced peppers.
So despite being advised to stock up on food for emergencies I shall be moving with not a lot of extras! Ho Hum.
