Challenging Myself: Day Seventeen

Wednesday 7 November 2018

Day Seventeen - Shopping

I'm back, but even though I've been away I've still had my Challenge head on, deciding what to buy and what I really needed to keep myself on track and help myself feel better about what I'm eating.

With this in mind I decided to 'splash out' an extra 30p on a loaf more like my usual favourite seeded type, so I chose a Tesco own brand multigrain loaf for 85p instead of the value 55p loaf I bought last time.

I also got four bananas off the market while I was away, so I could freeze them once they had ripened a bit more ready to make into a morning smoothie with the apples I also bought from Tesco as shown above. I figured that along with the homegrown spinach that was one of this week's choices, I would be getting at least three of my five a day into to me first thing in the morning, making it less of a struggle later with the foods that I have got left.

I also splashed out another 35p on these reduced price baking potatoes from Booths when I was in there, everywhere I go I have my eyes scanning for yellow stickers ... perhaps that could be another Challenge further down the line!!

So a total of £2.33 spent this week ...

... leaving me with just £4.28 to see out the final eleven days of the Challenge.

Good reduction on the spuds, Sue - we just don't seem to be out and about at a suitable time to get good reductions. Perhaps we ought to start.

Going really well, isn't it? I like the idea of a YS challenge too.

Good purchases! I feel like I'm Ready Steady Cook sometimes - basing meals on what's yellow stickered in our local Co-op, if I nip in straight after dropping the kids at school.

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.
