Challenging Myself: Red and Green

Red and Green

I was in Aldi the other day, it's one of the supermarkets that I use when I'm 'up North' enjoying our 'Smaller Life'. I decided on the spur of the moment that a couple of jars of their delicious Free From pesto would make a brilliant addition to my larder ... and at just 69p a jar it's the cheapest I've found it anywhere.

So two jars were purchased, one red with roasted tomatoes and one green with basil, and they have been added to the 'Big Shop' bag of foods waiting to take their place in the Challenge larder. It gives me the option of an instant eight meals served with the pasta shown yesterday or additional dollops of flavour if added to other meals.

This £1.38 spend brings my Big Shop total up to £12.69

I think it's time to start a bit of menu planning.

Why .....

I love a Challenge ... with a big C ... I always have. Why would anyone take the easy road when you can take a swervey, rocky and much more interesting one ... and actually learn something about yourself on the journey.

The idea of this blog is to chart some of my Challenges over the course of the next year or so. Some might last the distance and teach me something along the way, some might be serious and perhaps even a tad inspirational.

Some might just fizzle and die a remarkably quick death. I've been known to leave things unfinished ...

Disclaimer

Challenging Myself is my blog.

I use it to chart the Challenges I set myself and what I do day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year.

In it I also express my views and opinions and say what I do and occasionally how I do it. All saved for posterity ... and to amuse myself in my grand old age.

If you chose to copy or follow along with anything that I do or talk about doing, it is assumed that you will do so with care and consideration, and question where necessary any methods or techniques that I use to your own satisfaction and match them to your own circumstances.

The pictures on each blog post are taken by me, or on occasion found on Google Images, unless otherwise credited, and as such my photographs should not be borrowed or used elsewhere without my consent.
