What food I bought to Live Below The Poverty Line: What my family will live on for the next 5 days

Katherine Natalia @ Green Thickies — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 20:24:13 +0000

The Ingredients that will feed my family for the next 5 days It’s taken so much planning to get my shopping for the next 5 days within budget but I’ve finally managed it. I actually came in under budget which allows me the use of some herbs and spices in my meals and some extra emergency snacks in case any of us are in need of some more food. Here is a list of what I bought for the 5 days to feed the 3 of us in our family. Our budget was £15 for 5 days which works out at £1 per person per day. 1KG Rolled Oats: £0.75 1KG Frozen Spinach: £1.20 20 Bananas: £1.97 250g Flaxseeds (Linseeds): £0.99 1.5KG Wholemeal Breadflour: £1.39 1KG Onions: £0.63 Tin Kidney Beans £0.21 1.3KG Cannellini Beans: £1.09 1KG Mixed Frozen Vegetables: £0.75 2.5KG New Potatoes: £1.90 500g Passata: £0.29 16 Apples: £2.00 Total : £13.17 This is a fair bit under budget but I do want to allow for some more just in case food if I feel like this won’t be enough to keep us from getting hungry. When I look at the ingredients I can’t believe this is all we’re going to be living on. It looks so boring to me, but I think my meals are a lot more tempting than the raw ingredients. That’s the thing with ingredients, you can be creative and no 2 meals have to look the same. But when you buy ready meals you have no option but to eat it exactly as it is. I planned my shopping for the week based on the Tesco online prices and when I got to my local Tesco store a few of the ingredients were 10 or 20p more than the figure quoted online. Normally I may not even notice these kind of things, but the odd 10 or 20p can make the difference between affording to come in under budget or not. Another 2 things that I found difficult about buying my food for this experiment at Tesco were: Almost all my bananas had black and bruised chunks on them. Luckily I found this out before I actually needed to eat them. I had to buy my bananas about a week in advance so they would have time to ripen. I was lucky that I had more bananas so I could replace the bruised [...]
