My weekly food bill


Hi friends,


Good news. I am improving!
It is Monday today, so lovely RB and I did our weekly health check. The result was not bad at all.  If I could improve body fat percentage by 0.5%, I would be in the healthy green zone.  It is so pathetic but I want to be perfectly fit by my birthday. After all, who will look after me apart from myself?

We will go out for curry with other 7 colleagues this Thursday.  Strictly no pudding!

My breakfast cum lunch today. You must be fed up with the sight of these rolls. The feeling is mutual. I had enough of them but these burgers were very tasty.

After work, I went to Sainsbury’s, as the fridge is getting close to empty. The bill was just over £14 including this plastic jar (£2.75, so the actual food bill was £11.35.) 

I wanted to take homemade soup to work but the proper air-tight soup containers are quite expensive and it is against my style to spend nearly £10 for an ugly plastic thing. This jar will be just fine. 
I shall live on these foods until Friday. (I've just noticed they look all high carb...)

The total of my food bill is around £21 so far.  My budget is normally £30 for foods including my addiction to Costa Coffee (as we have a subsidised shop within the company, I don't need to pay for the high street price), £20 for other domestic things such as washing up liquid, kitchen towels etc. As long as I can live under £50 per week, I would say I am doing rather well.

Unfortunately, I spend more than £50 on petrol every week. This is the sad reality of the life in the UK, isn’t it?
