Haven't started the butter, used most of the cheese and the marg. Lots of milk/yogurt & sugar left and 1 egg. May have to "buy" some more oats before the end of the month but otherwise, its all good. May treat myself to a biscuit later as a reward.
Butter 2oz
Cheese 4 oz
Marg 4oz
Cooking fat 2oz
Milk 3 pints
Sugar 8 oz
Preserves 1lb every 4 weeks
Tea 2 oz
Egg 2
Sweets 8oz every 4 weeks
On top of that you had 16 Points every 4 weeks which could be used to buy a pound or a tin of the following:-
Baked beans 2 points
Dry biscuits 2 points
Sweet biscuits 4 pts
Herrings 2 pts
Lentils or split peas 2pts
Rice 8 pts
Sardines 2 pts
Sultanas 8pts
Currants 16 pts
Skimmed Milk 5 pts (not sure how much?)
Rolled Oats 2 pts
Salmon 16 pts
I'll be spending some of my Points on Lentils & Split peas, Oats & sardines. Also converting the weekly amounts to 4 weekly as its easier to buy a pack of butter or block of cheese that buying a couple of ounces. I'll make each pack last 4 weeks and if I run out, go without.
A slight bend of the rules - if I pick up any free food it doesn't count - it'll be the undercounter food that the grocer kept for his special customers.
