Just bumped into LadyStardust and Velocio at the local supermarket.
All of us are on limited funds right now so were trawling Sainsbury's for bogofs, specials and reduced items.
Pasta pesto is the perrenial favourite, New Covent Garden soups are on a 3 for 2...
Dry cured bacon was on 3 for £6, so some will be stored in the freezer.
I always forget how good value offal can be, so now have some lambs liver. Will cook some of the bacon until its crisp and then flash fry the liver (once coated with seasoned flour), deglaze with sherry and then stir in some cream and herbs from the garden. To be served on bread or pasta depending on how hungry I am on Sunday evening.
Will probably move towards a more veggie diet overall - quite looking forwards to having the time to make up a fresh masala mix and to do veggie curries, will probably make a trip to Southall for spices and ghee soon.
I think beans on toast will also be a regular snack meal.
We were agreeing that there can be some fun in living on a tight budget, and that saving a few pennies now will prolong our ability to keep heads above water.
Market shopping for veg, offal, and the reduced specials and bogof's will start to become my staples, but what are your favourite economic crunch forms of sustenance
The last I saw of the King and Queen of Fixie Skidders they were off to find cream for White Russians, so not all standards are slipping.
