We hope to be the same as soon as it possible. We’re also doing the same, looking at our meals and deciding if they’re something we’ll continue to eat long term. If so, can we grow it ourselves or adapt it to what we can grow ourselves. Catering for the kids is incorporated into all of that and they are fabulous really. It’s working full time that means we can’t go at the pace we could otherwise, though thinking about it, it doesn’t stop us trying.

My grocery budgeting post is the post with the most views since my blog begans. What does that tell you? <br />We need to eat more fish so I think I’ll try and use the stuff we have in the freezer first. Thanks for the reminder! Interesting re the raw milk, we had some delivered for a while as you can’t buy it close enough but of course we were charged an arm and a leg for delivery. One day we may have our own! We’re hoping to get quail this year so I might be coming to you for advice 😀Tracy https://www.blogger.com/profile/05866363148112288322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-9183759789881572402018-01-04T22:01:56.844-08:002018-01-04T22:01:56.844-08:00I think my technical issue with comments has right...I think my technical issue with comments has righted itself now as I’ve just managed to post on Louise’s blog, so here we go!<br />It’s funny Kev as it kind of turns into a challenge that I don’t want to lose. What can I make, grow (beg, steal or borrow) to keep our costs down. I hate lining the big cats pockets in the supermarket and the thought of the potential extra crap that goes in our bodies from anything we buy from there makes me shudder! I’m hoping that combined with the freezer and early harvests that this year will be the one other years have to content with Tracy https://www.blogger.com/profile/05866363148112288322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-55104723363722230382018-01-03T00:54:17.819-08:002018-01-03T00:54:17.819-08:00We dont have a grocery budget any more as we produ...We dont have a grocery budget any more as we produce most of what we need, when we first started out, I looked at what a on the shopping list and what we could produce from it ourselves, its hard work and time consuming sometimes but then I dont have to cater for children hats off to those that do :-) Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-20770706414017387262018-01-02T14:29:29.000-08:002018-01-02T14:29:29.000-08:00I just went "ahhhh!" when I saw the phot...I just went "ahhhh!" when I saw the photo. :)<br />Groceries are a big one here too. We rarely buy any meat at all, mostly shrimp of fish, but dairy is a big expense every week because I insist on organic. Raw milk is a hot topoc here but looking for a local place that raises on pasture (but not certified organic) might be in the future. It's easy enough to pasturize at home<br /> Cottontailfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603586688895863727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-47480011856185736032018-01-02T13:15:45.441-08:002018-01-02T13:15:45.441-08:00What we spend a week really does vary on the time ...What we spend a week really does vary on the time of the year like you guys. we normally spend about £70 a week but then don't buy meat or many veg, makes me wonder what we do buy that costs so much!
