I've been gathering my month's rations together. A few additions to be purchased tomorrow - a big tub of yogurt each week, 8 eggs for the month, a pound of porridge oats and a tin of sardines. There'll be 2 cartons of milk a week but I doubt that I'll drink that much. The small chunk of cheese in front of the bigger block is 4 ounces - a week's supply. I've marked the butter into 4 sections, one for each week. Also have some cooking oil - 8 oz a week and 8oz of preserves a month - probably homemade jam.
I've "spent" 8 of my 16 points for the month so I can still buy more pulses or a packet of biscuits if I get desperate!
It doesn't look much but there's unrationed bread, potatoes, UK grown fruit & veg, flour and fish, plus, of course, whatever I can find in the shop at the end of the garden.
