Shopping for April

We have darling granddaughter with us today, home poorly from school.

So I took the opportunity to do the shopping for April using the online tool I love - Trolley.co.uk.  We plan the meals we'd like to have this month, taking out any days we are not here. Then I stock check the freezer, pantry and store cupboards to make a list of what we need. Trolley.co.uk is the website I use to type in each item, and it tells me where I can buy it the cheapest.

I prefer to have one delivery and one click/collect a month, we have a weekly delivery from the local farm shop with our fruit and veg.

So here is my food shopping list for April:

• diet lemonade
• baked beans
• goat's cheese
• tonic water
• soya milk
• oat milk
• chopped tomatoes
• olive oil spray
• veg sausages
• veg burgers
• passata
• rolled oats
• salmon fillets
• sweetener
• stuffing mix
• orange squash
• ketchup
• cheese
• kidney beans
• vegi roast
• dog treats
• multi-purpose cleaner
• clingfilm
• toothpaste
• handwash
• garam masala

With what we already have and the weekly veg box, this feeds us for three meals a day - plus the grandkids twice a week and all the family once a week.

By carefully planning meals in advance and shopping like this at the cheapest shops, it means our food budget stays within our allotted funds.
