1) Despite the heat, I’m still loving soup for my lunch and I’ve had it three times this week. 😉 I bought a pack of pre-chopped soup mix from Asda in their reduced fruit and veg section so it worked out at around 15p a portion.
Even at full price these pre-prepared soup packs work out as good value although it is a little waterier (is that a word) than my version of spicy butternut squash and sweet potato soup but actually I do quite like it that way.
2) We went to the car boot sale last weekend and managed to get Tri-ominoes for the bargain price of 50p as our old and battered version has gone missing.
3) Â My hallway wall has been looking a bit bare since we relegated the big DVD cabinet we used to have there to the garage. Â I had one lovely canvas up there that I bought with some vouchers I got but it looked a bit lonely on the wall all by itself.
I found the two black framed prints in our local Aldi for £3.99 which is a LOT cheaper than the one in the middle would have cost if I hadn’t have had vouchers!!  I shared the photo in out Live Well, Spend Less Facebook group and lots of people think the ones from Aldi look better than the one in the middle.  What do you think?
4) We had a red pepper in the fridge that was looking past it’s best last Sunday so I decided to make some of our homemade Nandos Spicy Rice fakeaway for tea to go with our chicken rather than doing a full on Sunday lunch. Â It turned out to be delicious as it always is when we make this.
It looked so tasty that I decided to take more photos and update the post where I originally shared our recipe.  😉
5) I made a batch of homemade febreze as I’ve used more than normal over the last couple of weeks with it being so hot as the fresh smell has made me feel cooler for some odd reason!
I’m using an old photo though as my current Febreze bottle looks somewhat scruffier than this one!
