Flexibility, an absolute necessity!

Well, I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this, but I seem to have made a miscalculation with the grocery budget for this month (forgot it was a 5 week period between pay dates instead of 4 weeks!) and we are low on grocery money. We do have some for emergencies, so if I need it, I can dip into that, but I'm going to see how long I can go without buying ANYTHING this week!

Therefore, tonight's meal has changed to chilli and lime pork chops with green beans and spiced rice.

We have a few tins of salmon, a few tins of tuna, some frozen haddock, some frozen cod, Slimming World sausages (chicken and regular), a pack of Morrisons NUME cumberland sausages, a 4 pack of Slimming World beef burgers, and a bag of frozen chicken as far as meats go, so plenty there, just completely different than was planned.

Jethro will be happy to find out that it looks like we are having chicken fajitas tomorrow. One of his favourite meals!

This is why I bulk buy and try to have a decently stocked pantry. I also love marked down bits, but only if it's something I'll actually use and can freeze or can.

I know that we will probably need milk sometime this week, but I'm going to see how long I can stretch out the fresh milk we have, as we are down to the last 4 pint jug!

One last thing for now. Eli is starting to be on the move! Guess I'll be getting my exercise in one way or another now. Plus we need to start the baby proofing process downstairs now, eek!
