I'm actually amazed at how little fat and sugar I've used. I didn't touch the butter and there's 4oz of marg left, I've used less than 8 oz of sugar from the 2lb I started with. (I'm not counting the sugar that went in the strawberry jam or chutney as there were extra allocations of sugar for preserving). Also have 2 eggs, lots of milk and a tub of yogurt.
I used all the cheese and 16oz of porridge oats. Only used half (8oz) of the lentils and none of the dried peas.
I have 4 Points left of 16 so I might indulge myself next month with something special!
The good news is, I've lost a couple of pounds, probably because I haven't eaten any chocolate or sweet cakes this month. Most of my meals have been based on whatever was in the garden - mainly courgettes, cucumbers and tomatoes. Hoping they'll keep producing for the next 4 weeks or I'll have to find something else to fill up on.
From what I can gather there was a thriving 'Black Market' of spivs during the war who could get you just about anything you wanted. My preference would have been for beef, half a cows worth would do & extra butter. Smile
