Two bagels with salmon, cream cheese and rocket for me today so that's 8 out of 18. The bagels worked out at about £1.75 each so not the cheapest option I could have had, but they were yummy. I could have made them cheaper too if I had bought Tesco basic soft cheese for 40p rather than Philly cheese for £2 from Sainsbury's. Also if I had bought the smoked salmon offcuts supermarkets do now - I did get the salmon on a deal, but could have done that cheaper too. But hey. At least these are the sorts of things I think about now

Oh, WTBSE, there was a chickpea buger recipe linked yesterday on the frugal challenge thread.. it looks quite different to the falafel recipes I've seen so far but I'm going to give them a shot when I get the chance as they might be a nice alternative?April 2021 Grocery Challenge 34.29 / 2500

DAY 12/20 = FAIL
My total remains at 11/20 - I am sorry all, I hang my head in shame.
I bought a bagel for brekkie and I am buying a salad for lunch to go with my soup.
I’ll go stand in the corner now… L0 -
#6 for me although I'm pretty sure I'll end up buying a snack today at some point. I'm eating everything in sight
