Day Eight - End of First Week

I thought for the end of the first week, just seven days into my Challenge, it would be good to assess what foods I have left from my initial purchases.  This includes my 'Big Shop of £17.68 and the block of Trex I bought from my fridge on Day Four at the going rate of 85p.

A total spend up to date of £18.53.

The fridge is quite sparse as I ate the fresh things from there, or popped them into the freezer before my business trip.

But as you can see I have Flora spread, tomato ketchup, most of the Trex and most of my marmalade ... along with the jug of tap water.

The freezer is positively brimming with goodies.

I have 12 slices of my bread, 3 portions of homemade vegetable soup, 4 portions of pasta sauce, 1 little spinach cube, a bag of lemon slice halves, 3 x 50g tubs of grated cheese, 400g sliced peppers, a lemon juice cube and a portion of savoury pastry.

The cupboard is still looking good although there are obvious gaps with five of the cans of food gone.  But I still have:

500g Brown Rice

300g Spaghetti

400g Pasta Shapes

750g Porridge Oats

2 Jars of Pesto Sauce

1.3kg Self Raising Flour

1 Tin Tomatoes

3 Tins of Baked Beans

1 Tin of Sardines

450g Red Lentils

1 Tin of Peach Slices

1 Tin of Mandarin Pieces

Plus my store-cupboard starters of salt, pepper, oil, coffee etc.

I have 9 Potatoes in the potato bag in the cupboard.

And in the fridge drawer I have:

4 Carrots

1/2  Marrow

6.25 onions

1/2 Bunch of Celery

And yes ... I was photo-bombed for the fridge drawer photo 😃
