Supermarket roulette
1. Head to your local Tesco Express after 5pm on any given evening.
2. Make for the 'Reduced to Clear' shelf
3. Attempt to purchase a meal ONLY from what you can find.
4. ???
5. Profit!

Last night's triumph: Stir-fried turkey breasts with mushrooms, peppers and carrots. Total cost 61p

Previous night's failure: Hummus, broccoli and curly sandwich, forced to purchase food at FULL PRICE.

Your mileage may vary.

I thought you were married?
That sounded like a bachelor meal.

I've been divorced since earlier this year
Oh, the fun fun fun of living in a bachelor pad just down the road from a buy-one-get-one-free Chinese takeaway

I do this when cash is tight.....
Normally the week leading up to rent day, and a few days after.

I raid the yellow sticker section for something to make a reasonable dinner from, and usually manage a desert of fruit, and a 20p bunch of flowers too.

Sometimes I do this even when I have plently of money as I like the challenge, and, well, i can be quite tight sometimes :)
