This week's spend is €197.36.
Went shopping to Tesco on Saturday morning and guess what I had to beg again for a till to be opened for me. The joys of shopping. This week my husband tagged along and he picked up Tesco Finest All Butter Croissants, described by Raymond Blanc as "The best croissants I have tasted outside my own kitchens." Really.....? They worked out cheaper than the Tesco loose ones, so we thought we would give them a go. As soon as you picked one up it felt too heavy to be light and crisp as described by the manufacturer Bakehouse.co.uk. They got a thumbs down in our house, the children commented that the normal Tesco loose ones were better.
Sunday was manic as we had 7 extra teenagers in the house to celebrate my middle daughter's birthday, a bit belated but no problem. We made 8 home-made pizzas with one over -cooked garlic bread and some salad. She requested the mocha cupcakes again so this time I made 30.
I used up my pork shoulder on Sunday and Monday, even though my middle daughter picked out all the meat from the lasagne I made from the leftovers on Monday.
