Another nsd here today :j The home made instant oat pot was lovely with a pinch of cinnamon and a handful of mixed dried fruit for lunch today
Tomorrow won't be a nsd as I am going to stock up on the Lidl deal on potatoes and I also need milk and toilet roll.
I'm also almost out of onions but everywhere seems really expensive for them, over 90p a kilo! :eek: I'll check lidl price while I'm there.
On the black pudding subject, it is your posts about using it in yorkshire puddings that has made me buy a roll Flo. I'll be pleased to get 8 meals for that price :T£36/£240

You cut 4/5 thin slices for 1st meal - with baked beans, mushrooms, eggs, tomatoes, toast, LO pots etc - 2 servings.
The rest of the black pudding - cut into thicker slices and then into chunks - use as sausages in the batter for BPITH. Make a 2 egg Yorkshire batter mix - I use a ceramic dish from - 99p shop - gives you 6 servings.Decluttering Achieved - 2023 - 10,364 Decluttering - 2024 - 8,365 August - 0/45

Another 'Tesco-Free' day
Did my shop at Aldi, and it came to £66.42.0 -
NSD here.
We had HM Salmon Quiche + HM wedges + roasted red onion, white onion & tomatoes. I had some lovely cooking juices left in the dish so tipped it on the veggies - yummy.

CP - don't worry - 20 isn't too bad. Did you stock up on items? Or is it treats and BOGOFs?
