Called at the Church and came home with oyster mushroom, wholemeal cobs and a pomegranate.

Went to the £5 x 2 Pantry today. For £10, I have a big bag of Nando's chicken wings, M&S Plaice fillets, pate, 2 tins of Spam, milk, frozen mash, lots of fresh fruit & veg, including 2 melons, pears, bananas, kiwifruit, peaches, passion fruit, tangerines, lemons & limes, sweetcorn, peppers, spring onions, lettuce, thyme, tarragon, butternut squash, (I refused apples and tomatoes), soft drinks, fruit juice, crisps, cakes, chocolate brownie bars, dry pasta, plus a big box of bread in various shapes and sizes. Lidl had baked too much so it was all up for grabs - including some mini-pizzas, baguettes, panini, rolls, loaves.
I think its time to have a No-spend holiday while I reduce the food in the freezer.

My neighbour gave us a box of freshly picked plums, very tasty.

One of my regulars gave me two cakes - a lemon drizzle sponge and a jam & cream swiss roll. She has a health condition and won't risk eating out of date food - she knows I'll help her out.

I'm sure you could make a nicer one - this one's from Aldi.
