Shopping list

I really must start making a shopping list before I go and do my weekly shop. After me telling you all, I was going shopping last week; this is what I ended up with.
Last week’s food shopping
·         2 bags of dog mixer (for the dog of course)
·         4 packets of custard creams (also for the dog as they are cheaper than dog biscuits)
·         2 packets of Doritos  (for me, but the dog found them first)
·         Cheese  (still in the fridge)
·         3 large onions  (still one left)
·         Bar of dark chocolate (bought this for my fab sister in law. Still in fridge)
·         10 Chicken fillets from butcher  (5 still in freezer)
·         1 jar of Chilli Concarni sauce (love chilli)
·         500g minced beef
·         Frozen Peas
As you can see most of the stuff was for Rocky.  How the hell am I so over weight? It is true, I buy loads of packets of custard creams, but the truth is, they are for the dog as he will not eat dog biscuits. Also they are much cheaper than dog biscuits. It’s also true that I end up eating them if there isn’t anything else. Must get out of that habit as I normally don’t by biscuits for myself at all.
This week’s shopping is even worse. I have spent most of my money until next Wednesday. It’s a good job I made stews and soups earlier on in the year, and put them in the freezer.
·         Bar of Dark Chocolate (this is also for sister in law. Looks like she will get two bars now)
·         Small jar of Taco sauce
·         2 Mr Muscle kitchen cleaner (on special offer)
·         Planter trays (for replanting the flowers that I sowed)
·         Tub of Glace Cherries (put these in by mistake)
·         Orange juice
·         Green peppers
As you can see there is almost no food there at all. I bought Glace cherries as they ended up in my basket (not sure how). I am eating them as I type this blog. Very surprised how small they are and also I find they taste like emulsion paint (not that I eat much emulsion paint) I think this is why it is so easy to end up eating junk food.  I will try and plan my meals and also take a shopping list with me in future.
