Challenging Myself: For the Price of a Coffee - Day Six

For the Price of a Coffee - Day Six - The Shopping

I guess I could have gotten away with not shopping at all. I have lots of food in my now nicely stocked little larder so much so that I was really tempted to have another day of not shopping.

But this Challenge is about showing what you can buy instead if you for-go a daily coffee, so I will continue to shop every day and give myself as wider a selection of foods as I can. Really I have so much food in at the moment that I am almost thinking I have too much to choose from and too many meal options.

Time to use up a few of the bits and bobs I think.

All these items were bought to help make more complete meals out of the things I have left in my larder, and the orange juice just because I really fancied some ... quite a rare thing for me but when I fancy it I listen to my body and buy it.

My shopping total was £2.45 and I shopped in Tesco as it was just a small detour on my way home to Wales to house-sit while the builders are in and keep Ginger company while Alan is working away.

Brought forward 2p

Todays money £2.75

Total to Spend £2.77

Actually Spent £2.45

Carried forward to Day 7 - 32p

It just gets better and better, doesn't it?

Another great selection of foods:) This challenge has certainly been an eye opener for me as I don't really have a budget for food. This week I've been reading a book "Eat well, Save More feed four people for $80 a week" by Cath Armstrong who is the founder of the Cheapskates club here in Oz, an amazing lady. Great simple recipes and lots of helpful ideas. I think I need to start a challenge to have a food budget:)

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 ...

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.
