What UKYs Eat

Your cupboards are so clean & tidy!   I share kitchen (cooking) duties with a boy!  There's always flour & bits spilled all over the shelves.  And I simply refuse to clean & tidy up everything after him -- so our style is more lived in.

I just moved a couple of weeks ago.   

(Oh, and my boy prefers to spill things on the floor, counters, stove, around the sink...)

Oh yes, we have that too -- so I make a half-hearted effort at keeping the readily visible surfaces clean, but have given up on the cupboards!  And even though he normally does the washing up, he doesn't see all the wiping up that needs to be done.

But hey-ho, back to the food...

Here's our weeks shop. We spent around $150, but that included diapers, baby wipes and shampoo and things.

Ooh, this looks interesting.  We normally do a weekly shop, but got enough for 2 weeks this week (normally I go alone, but this time I had DH with me to help carry the majority of it home  )

I might post one the next time we do go shopping, though!

Yikes!  I forgot to tell Rich and he went while I was at the gym.  Will do it Monday, since we have to get more for when my parents come.  Sorry!

I'll play!  We are going food shopping tomorrow and it's gonna be for a week.  I'll take pictures when we get back. 

June

We went shopping today and I took photos of what we bought. It's 2 photos because I needed to go to 2 different grocery stores. The paper towels are obviously wayyyyyy more than a week's worth but they were on sale. And we didn't buy any milk, bread or meat because we already had some here. So not exactly the entire week's food in the photos but a big portion of it. Our total for the stuff in the photos was $47.

Okay, this was our weekly shop.  It was a big one, so it seems like a lot of food because it was one of those weeks where we had run out of everything!  We buy our fruit from the market, so there's only a fraction of the actual fruit we eat (a lot!!) in the photo, because I need to go tomorrow.

Also, am I just being thick, but I can't figure out for the life of me how to attach a photo to this post?!  I'm just going to link from one I uploaded manually.

Oh, the spend was £38.47, but that's a LOT for us - me and my FH (I've got some baking plans for this week).

How do I attach an image to my post??

If you are a charter member you can add it by hitting "additional options" (at the bottom of the create post box) where you will see an option to upload a pic. Or, if you're not a CM you can create an image tag by uploading your pic to Photobucket or similar, then paste that into your post.

Here's mine for one person. I spent £14.70, though I usually spend closer to £20. I didn't need much this week and found a few things marked down to throw in the freezer for later.

We did a big shop today and I took a photo, but I can't find my camera cord at the moment, so I'll have to wait to post the photo.

That's a lot of butternut squash!  Good on you .

I'm finding this thread fascinating - keep the photos coming! I'm also thinking that dh is right - I spend too much at the grocery store!!!  I must start being more careful. I'll post on Thursday!!

i love that we all have mexican stashes! i thought i was the only dork who devoted an entire shelf to sopapilla boxes & picante mixes! yay!
