When I'm pushed for time I make one of these..
https://www.powerhungry.com/2019/05/13/coconut-flour-hunger-buster-3-ingredients/
I'm vegan so I use Aldi soya yogurt
Coconut flour bought from an ethnic store
Half a cup of frozen summer berries from Aldi
Plus I add a tablespoon each of Lidl ground linseed and chia, just because I use the Dr. Greigers daily dozen app and this ticks off both.
All whacked in a kilner jar.
I've calculated it comes to about 40p, and about 250 calories, and is surprisingly filling.No buying unnecessary toiletries 2014. Epiphany on 4/4/14 - went into shop to buy 2 items, walked out with 17!5 -
2 slice x egg mayo sandwich and some mini plum tomatoes. I also had 3 celebration chocolates, because someone brought them into work.
2 cans Pepsi max, fridge cold and lovely
I estimate at £1.10, egg 25p, mayo 10p, bread 10p. Cans 2 x 25p. Tom's 15p.
Didnt include the chocolates.2 -
Looking at the freezer, and I've got half a side of salmon, some frozen spinach and a pack of pastry... so I'm thinking salmon/soft cheese and spinach parcels?
If I flake up the rest then I'll probably refreeze to make a savoury rice the week after.
Salmon was around £10 per kilo in the sale, and pastry is store own which was about £1 when bought, so assuming 5 lunches and 2 main meals would work out somewhere around £1.70 per portion?I'm not an early bird or a night owl; I’m some form of permanently exhausted pigeon.2 -
On Friday husband was working from home, so I had two soft-boiled large organic free range eggs and a Baxters Super Good root vegetable & turmeric soup bought when on offer at Waitrose recently.2

Looking forward to lunch tomorrow (despite not yet having had dinner)
Homemade carrot and coriander soup (5 portions made of just 11 carrots 2 potatos and a stock cube and water) so very cheap. Slice or 2 of low cal nimble bread
2 chicken drumsticks off tonight's chicken
Small pot of red pepper houmous and carrot sticks and grapes for snacks mid morning.

Didn't know that Nimble bread was still about ! My mother used to eat it on her diets.
Don't know what I will get tomorrow as we are out of prosciutto and wild smoked salmon. Leerdammer is now using an unspecified vegetarian coagulant so not buying that anymore. I know that I will have a 200g pack of Del Monte fresh melon though (on offer for 1.49 at Iceland)2 -
A mixed salad with a hard boiled egg and some prawns and feta cheese tomorrow, a couple of plums for snacking.Well Behaved women seldom make history
