A different breakfast. Discovered riches. / myLot

After I wrote my grocery list and discovered that I have food for Luna for over a month, I decided to think again what I need. I saw that some of the items were luxuries. Now that I live alone, I tend to say to myself that what I´m buying will not be so expensive if I make it last long. It was the sentence that made me put on weight with chocolates. They never last long

I know that I need a few things. I will need eggs. But after the next time I looked, I found out that even eggs could be changed for other food. I will not eat eggs for breakfast. And that started another search. I remembered the apricot jam I had left from last December. So today I ate my daily bread with butter and apricot jam (a lot). Delicious! I have meat for 2 more roast beefs. That means also cold cuts for breakfast. And I have a veal tongue that goes a long way. In these months where money matter in a different way, we feel blessed when we discover that we have more than what we thought. I am sharing a bit, as much as I can. And I still play at the freerice.com site.

You are being very wise. I over order vegetables, so will definitely cut back on those when I place an order tomorrow.

I had to throw a package of spinach the last time I order. Those leafy veggies are too big for the fridge if you over buy. Besides, I did not want to place them with the rest of the food until they were virus processed. And I forgot.

. There are other veggies we can eat instead.

@DianneN I know. I also have 2 vegetable bins in the fridge but I would not place a bunch a spinach, lettuce or kale full of germs there. I will not catch the virus after being bored at home for over 3 months

@marguicha I wash everything that goes into the fridge with soap and water and sanitize cartons, jars, and bags, I'm a germaphobe as it is. I am lucky to have two large vegetable bins in the refrigerator and sanitize them every week before the delivery comes. They say food doesn't have the virus, but I can't be too careful.

I sometimes find some treasures at home, so I don't need to buy so much foods.. I have learned so much information about health.. Intermittent fasting seems to be more popular among health people..

@marguicha It does sound more hard than we think.. I start eating in the afternoon - first yogurt with fruit and berries, chia seeds and lineflower seeds and a little pumkin seeds.. later whatever I like within 8 hours or so - it is not hard..

Isn't it interesting how this virus situation has changed our grocery shopping and eating behaviors? I am really trying hard not let anything go to waste . . . even cooking extra things now to use things up. Why didn't I do this before
