The weekends shopping and the last that I'm hoping to do this month. I've been spending too much on things that I don't even really need. Of all these things the only thing that I really needed, to keep my supplies up for the month, was the paracetamol. I sort of needed potatoes, but I could have managed without them really as I have a couple of tins of potatoes in the cupboard.
I need to stop shopping and keep my cash, as the bank account has dwindled a bit after paying this years second tax bill.
The two items that I had put into the freezer before I took the top photo.
Altogether these things cost me £12.17, which is actually really good, looking at what I've got, so I'm not being too hard on myself, and the single items and tomatoes added over 200 points to my Nectar card. Those points are all I'm giving myself to spend for the rest of the month along with a pound coin or two if necessary for any overs.
I used up my old banana, so that it wouldn't make my new one ripen by being close together. There's only two ways to use up very ripe bananas in my book, cakes or 'nice-cream'. Once again I chose to make some Banana and Walnut Muffins.
There were two more on the cooling rack, but Alan came over and spotted them ... and they mysteriously vanished. 😲
I purposefully made them quite small so that we could take some for our visit to Mum yesterday, and she really enjoyed two of the smallest ones. She doesn't eat much these days so although there was a scary moment as she had a coughing fit, it was nice to see her enjoy them so much.

ReplyDeleteYou've got me craving banana and walnut muffins, they look and sound delicious. My lunchtime packet of noodles will seem very dull in comparison! xxx
Thanks Vix, I think you have a very valid reason for being behind on commenting. :-)
DeleteThe muffins were lovely and they just about lasted 24 hours, I need to start making a double batch with Alan around. Although I do have to admit to a real liking for packets of noodles, enjoy. xx
The muffins look like a great choice of using up the ripe banana.

I've just made banana and walnut bread, absolutely delicious.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me, I have sliced up bananas in the freezer waiting to be made into banana bread.
