- A guide to moving out Part 2 - the cost of living

 

 -Cheap meals and tricks-

 

As i was reading my old posts i saw the cheap meal idea posts and it got me thinking about just how much the cost of food has gotten worse so i thought it would be a good idea on updating the meal ideas and maybe throwing in a few more ! 

Last time i showed you a few cheap meal ideas for under £5 so ill aim for that again this time ill show you a  few ideas from sainsburys

First a tried and tested idea noodles! ko-lee noodles
from sainsburys are just 30p cheap and tasty, as before id go for the chicken flavour , its worth looking out for cheap noodles, if you add the right stuff it can taste great 

If noodles are not your thing Id surgest going for potatoes you can get 2kg of baking potatoes for around £1.80 it will provide a hot meal thats nice and filling when added with the veggies and bacon

Now for the vegetables , when trying to get a good amount of vegetables in  your diet it can be hard on a budget both me and my partner are dibetic so we are allways being told to eat right a good diet , thats easier said then done!
 

We try and  get a bag off frozen vegetables 1 kg from sainsburys will set you back 99p for stamford street. co theres more types off veggies in here then the tescos own brand and it works out 10p cheaper ! and you can get easy a weeks worth of veggies from it ! 

 

So far that leaves you with £3.71 from your £5. now depending on if you eat meat you could go for a pack of stamford street co. cooking bacon for £1 buy cutting a few bits up and lightly frying then adding to the cooked noodles and veggies it ill make for a easy and cheap dinner if your on a tight budget 

If bacon isnt your meat of choice they do have chicken nuggies! they do cost 10p more , but should work on the side of the plate with everything else.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok so your left with £2.60 a loaf of bread from sainsburys stamford street range will cost  47p , they have both wholemeal and white so you can take your pick ! ive seen that butter can be quite expensive so id try and find a good deal on it if your happy enough to shop about you can get tescos butter for 95p for 500g 

Problem being is how long will it last ? if your going to use it for more then buttering bread , like lightly frying your bacon you'll need more so id go for a bigger tub, like sainsburys butter soft it tastes just like lurpak for half the price you cant knock it , ok its still 500g for around £2 but it will last so much longer then the tescos its well worth it.

 

 - reduced food - 

Most supermarkets will mark down their stock either the items damaged or close to sell by date you can useally tell the items by a yellow sticker though out the day  this is a great way to pick up a bargin for things you wouldnt useally beable to get , the best time to go in is in the evening times tescos useally do there last reduction around 8pm , its worth poping in if you have the time. it might be a little busy around the reduced sections but if you can get a chance to check it out its worth it !

So ill leave this post here , i hope this helps im planing on doing a blog about the cost of electric supplyers and whats the best option to go for ,  so keep an eye out !

If you have any cheap  meal ideas please feel free to comment below!

10 Years Of New Who

3 days from now marks the return of the faithful Blue Box, the box that in the 60's every child dreamed of. I'm talking of course about the TARDIS, that old faithful that stole a time lord and ran to see the universe. 

10 years ago on the 26th of march 2005 at 7pm on BBC 1 the doctor bounced back on our screens larger then life, with Christopher Eccleston at the helm the episode simply titled 'rose' showed us rose meeting the doctor while shes living her mundane life working in a shop and eating chips, then walking down to the cellar after her shift she meets him , the doctor and what does he say 'run' and they do so very far.

  
There's been a lot of talk weather they should celebrate the 10 year mark, I'm a little split on this yea as a devoted doctor who fan the geek in me is shouting OH MY GOD YES!  but the old school fan in me is thinking well we've just ha the 50th anniversary and it was incredible to say the lest, and yes the reboot is incredible its given us so much from Christopher Eccleston  to Matt smith hanging from the tardis as unit carries it to meet Kate and of course its given us back  the master and its lost so much to , one of my all time favorites

Yes Nu who is fantastic but has the balance between new and old doctor who gone to far ? are we going to see a hole different doctor who this year? let me know what you think below !!
