Day Five Of the Saving Money Experiment….getting tough!

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Back story…..If you’ve read the start of the week you’ll know that I have just £5 a day for 5 people. This is day 5.

So guys I think tonight I hit the wall. I was mooching around the going off isle feeling pretty uninspired…. I feel like a giant steak or yummy take out or just a big ass box of roses (I am hormonal, can u tell?) . NOT what is on offer here… a lank bag of lettuce, a piece of day-glow  yellow fish, two strawberry trifles (they are ALWAYS here) and….. two large piece’s of turkey.

I am not a turkey fan, it always goes dry and it has no flavour. I have to say if it wasn’t  for you guys and your fantastic comments so far and the fact that I keep looking at bigger houses on rightmove as frugal inspiration I would have  given up, but no….that turkey was whispering to me….. take me, take me….I can be delicious.

Will just have to get inventive….so I have a quick memory scan through my fridge (i could almost hear the whirling, this whole save money lark takes allot of brain power you know!)
