Well, this month’s shop was a bit more expensive than usual as I had to replace a few things like Worcestershire sauce which is quite expensive but lasts months.
I hope that I have ordered enough that I might be able to get away with not doing a supermarket shop for June at all. We shall see how it goes but that would be a real result, giving our little commune an extra £40-50 to spend.
As usual, SP stands for ASDA’s Smart Price range. Enormous thanks to Jack Monroe for the work that resulted in this ever increasing range of products.
I try to inject some variety into our meals so, although many of the same ingredients get ordered each month, they are often used in different ways.
