Who says you can't eat healthy on a budget?! This lot came to well under £2 and along with some cupboard and fridge essentials I can make some tasty, healthy meals. I'm thinking soup, veg purée smoothies, salad etc. It's great coming back from uni passing all the convenience supermarkets at a time when there's plenty of reduced bargains to be had.
At this time of year with the amount of people coughing, sneezing and generally feeling unwell, vitamins are super important for keeping your immune system up to speed and defending against all the bugs going around!
I used to love watching Ready, Steady, Cook when it was on tv. It used to be on when I came home from school and while other kids were out playing, I was watching a cooking programme... Anyway, on the programme they'd have a bag of certain ingredients that the chefs would have to come up with recipes for on the spot. They had only a few seconds to think of something and then a set short amount of time to prepare what they had come up with. Going and getting reduced items from a supermarket, to me, is a bit of a challenge like that and I love it. I find it very hard to plan meals ahead and do one 'weekly shop'. I like to be spontaneous!
