    I have always kept a reasonably well stocked cupboard and I am hoping to top it up for the winter however I often look at it and think, what will I actually make that I will eat?? This winter I am going to pull together a personal emergency cupboard food recipe book!

    Asda are currently selling 400g tins of Heinz soup, for 50p a tin.

    I bought myself a pack, of 24 tins of tomato.

    I stocked up my freezer today with £1 mince from Lidl, perfect for warming bolognaise, chilli or cottage pie :)
