- Cheese + Chicken = Chocolate Dessert

Usually for lunch we have cheese sandwiches. As there are several in our family we can easily munch our way through half a pack of mature cheddar in one lunch time, that costs about £2.50 for 250g. Today we had sliced chicken which I managed to get 30 slices of for just 69p. They were small round slices so the children had one slice and my Husband had two slices but that still leaves enough for tomorrow's lunch too and more besides. We had sliced baps with them today to make them more special which cost £1, so rolls and meat together cost about £1.25 instead of the usual £2.50 for cheese plus the cost of bread - 40p, so instead of £2.90 it was £1.25 saving about £1.65 on usual cost. (Tomorrow we will just have it in our normal bread so save the £1 on the rolls - that will save another £2.25!!). We still had other sandwiches and cake as usual but it is savings like these which help the weekly budget. Actually today's and tomorrows savings, £3.90 combined, will go directly toward and actually completely pay for all of us to enjoy the special Cadbury's Chocolate dessert we are having after dinner tonight which admittedly was reduced a little bit, enough to make a difference but not nearly as much as I would like :-D
