Shopping List Week 3

I did super well this week and only spent AU$23 on food!

1.       Bread

2.       Oranges

3.       A cucumber

4.       Chicken breast (I had big plans)

5.       An apple

6.       Raisins

7.       Celery

8.       Potatoes

9.       Onions

10.   Pesto (I have yet to find a good store-bought pesto, but I never tire of trying)

11.   Bananas

12.   Scotch fingers (they’re like tea biscuits and looked good)

Acquired:

1.       Olive oil

2.       Pasta

3.       An unopened jar of a Woolworths Nutella rip-off (not as good as the real stuff)

4.       Cereal bars (as in compressed cereal that you can crumble and expand with milk, or just eat dry if you are in a rush – me)

I also got a pumpkin seed roll at this German bakery near where I was flyering, which was a nice change.

Because I was working so many odd hours, I decided to invest some time in making a good meal alternative – curry chicken salad. It took me most of my morning break on Tuesday, but it came out pretty good, with raisins, apples, celery, carrots, walnuts, yoghurt, and the requisite curry and chicken – yum!

I spent the intervening meals eating pesto pasta, although one day I was inspired to make potatoes and onions (there’s no oven, but they came out pretty good on the stove).
