Despite not earning alot these days, we have gone back to eating more traditional / seasonal foods.. simply to save money, cooking stuff like toad in the hole, shepherd's pie and modest roast dinners.. actually these are all comfort foods, cheap though when we buy just the basic ingredients from decent shops.
We are a family of four.. monthly food bill was £600+ now down to under £400..
The best part is when we grow our own stuff, it may not last long but to eat home grown tomatoes / pumpkins or cut endless supply of tarragon / rosemary / bay leaves in our garden is very satisfying..
I could not however live without tea, coffee, olive oil, black pepper, cinnamon, saffron, and tons of other spices..
There was a time when I would worry about losing the south american rainforest to cattle ranches, or damn building in india, but i am too old and too tired to fight on, sad i know but true..
We have a theory at home, that the reset button on earth will be pressed soon and a 200 year deep freeze beckons..
