Or also known as the "in my overdraft and don't get paid until 15th and can't afford to buy food so will have to make do with what's already here" challenge!
I haven't been sticking to plan very well and a check of my bank account today shows that it is also not very healthy (although more lean than I am!). Since that scuppers my plans for a good shop today I'm going to have a go at making meals from what's already here. I want to see if I can make tasty healthy meals from the food I have left in the cupboards (although trying to ignore the jars of curry sauce - want to be SW friendly as much as I can!).
My cupboards aren't bad, we have quite a bit of tuna and there's some chopped tomatos in there. Unfortunately the only pasta type stuff I have is a lot of spaghetti and one portion of rice. The freezer has a good supply of frozen veg athough it's mostly brocolli, cauliflower, green beans, peas and mixed sliced peppers. There's not a lot of meat in there so looks like I'll have to attempt veggie this week.
Feeling a bit lost already! I might have to buy some basic fruit but that'll have to do. I'm going to do a search for some recipes on here but if any of you have any ideas that might help, I'm very grateful!
Anyone else managed to stay healthy without doing a decent shop?
