Second veg box delivery must equal the next menu plan

The veg box this week contains:

New potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, bunched turnips, spinach, broad beans, lettuce.

 

In addition to the Farm Box (slightly different to last week) I ordered 4 lots of milk.  I didn’t get the raw milk or the cream this time as I’d ordered it before we’d had the first delivery and I wasn’t sure if we’d like it or not. (I’m impatient like that).  I will however be ordering the cream again.  It was delicious.  Occasionally I will order the raw milk but it’s a lot more expensive so will be a treat when I do.

This week’s box cost £10, the milk is £1.79 each and the delivery is £2.40.

Total £19.56

Tesco is coming on Friday as normal and bringing with it the ingredients I need to make the recipes for the coming week plus the weekly usuals.  This came to £40.30 when I checked out, which is bang on budget.
