Yeah but as a young professional couple every penny we earn is supposed to be being saved towards Buying A House, innit. :-/ Also, I dunno, I have no idea what one is "supposed to" spend on food, and we don't tend to do a Big Weekly Shop so it's hard to see how much we are spending, so I always feel like I'm probably spending too much. There's also the nagging feeling that if I was just better at making things go further, and boiling carcasses for stock and stuff like that then I'd actually be able to feed our hypothetical family of 7 for a month for only half a crown. Eh, I dunno. But 8 quid a day for a meal for two = 56 quid a week! That sounds like the sort of "big shop" that my parents used to do for four of us once a week, and that included stocking up on storecupboard stuff and things.
Not sure what you mean about "a lot of plastic between jar and metal lid" but otherwise the lemon-preserving sounds like a Plan. Do you then keep them in the salt or take them out? I do freeze lemon slices but that's mostly for putting in GIN. :-) And our freezer coats everything in huge oceans of ice.
Oh I don't know. Sometimes it just seems like everything I spend money on is Bad. I mean what's the point of any of it?
