Since yesterday I've been thinking about the 10/day thing - and yesterday I went through the NHS list to pick out the list of stuff I'd eat .... and I do intend to "try" a bit more at some point ...
Just not today.
Today I've had:
- 2 bits of white/sliced 36p loaf and a smear of marg.
- 1/4 pie, 30g instant mash, 1/2 tin of beans.
- a packet of plain crisps (the 5p ones I bought from Lidl the other week, still got 3-4 packs left).
So there's 1/10 right there!
Total cost today was about 75p. And I'm short by 9/10 portions of food.
I've probably had ~800 calories, so there'd be some calorie room to scoff more ... but right now I'm too full to even think about eating anything more.
I was eyeing up the 24p/Smart Price Asda tomato soup earlier and thinking "wonder if that's minging".
Cant say I am bothered what the government tells me to eat ...I know I could and probably should eat more veg but I dont so shoot me
Your calculations will be out though as I will have at least 2 glasses of wine which is stuffed full of healthy grapes :T0 -
