Christmas food shopping

Oh the joy of food shopping at Christmas. Trying not to over buy is quite a hard thing to do with so much choice with all the Christmas festive food. The use by dates also creates problems too especailly when certain foods can not be put in the freezer, so a few of our choices changed as I did not want the hasssle of going back later to get the items in but we got some great tasty food to enjoy and indulge over Christams. I think this year we've finally managed not to go overboard with the food that either some gets wasted or we are still eating it mid January which isn't particularly good for the healthy eating plan which we want to follow next year to keep and lose those few pounds!!

We done most of the shopping in Sainsburys £105 and finished off in Waitrose £22 getting the meats for the main meal. The girls and I went to Asda on Friday and spent £60 with getting drinks, snacks, nuts, bread, and ingredients for making gingermen biscuits which the girls wanted to do on Tuesday.

Christmas day we are spending as a family and Boxing day mum and dad are coming over.
