Thanks Luc, finding it very hard to think of that many meals, and I am repeating most of them! So how much really do you all spend on your weekly shop against how much you budget?? Come on own up
My budget is £100 for the month, and this week I've spent about 90. I should only need bread milk bananas and possibly some veg though for the rest of the month. Actually, I keep forgetting that £10 of the asda shop was boxes of chocolates for presents, so I've only spent £80. There was also a tenner on alcohol for the xmas cake, normally alcohol's a different budget but since this is all for cooking I'm including it.
Normally, I stop counting by the second week of the month though....
I thought the pic was Sally too.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0 -
I have actually considered doing an old fashioned housekeeping tin for the £25 a week. Paying on plastic kind of divorces the shopping from the loss of funds IYKWIM:o
I do that, sort of. I've got a separate purse for the food budget.
Just remembered the Graze boxes, I'm counting £10 a month from the food budget and £15 from the spends budget... so I'm def going over again this month.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0 -

You are right, will have a look. Can you make low fat yog?
It's easy to make yoghurt. You just need a live yoghurt as a start - or some of your old batch.
Get a container that will withstand boiling water, and has a lid. It doesn't need to be airtight.
Swill out aforementioned container with aforementioned boiling water. Sterilise a spoon in aforementioned boiling water.
Open a UHT container of milk. Skimmed if you want low fat, or full fat if you want full fat. Or semi-skimmed if you want middling fat.
Empty the milk into the sterilised container.
Put a spoon full of starter yoghurt in and stir.
Put the lid on and stuff it somewhere warm for 24 hours.
If you like your yoghurts runny like Yop, then stir the curds in. If you don't - drain it off. Strain your yoghurt to make it really thick.
Add fruit...sugar...chocolate sprinklies...<let your imagination run riot here> to taste. If you use a different starter, it will taste different.
It's easy, and about 50p per litre."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)
