Salmon. Oodles of salmon. A couple of dinners - a salmon fillet coated in rapeseed oil with dill sprinkled on top, baked, with veggies. And a couple of breakfasts of smoked salmon with Philadelphia Light on top of Ryvita crisp breads, or previously on a bagel. Tasty, good for cholesterol levels, good for losing weight, lots of protein. I just wish it was cheaper though.

We eat a very varied diet so have few “every week staples”.
Usually, our shopping list is whatever we wrote on the pad on the fridge because we ran out plus whatever we else we need to make use of the veg box plus milk.
If you look at our “always in so we need to replace when we run out” list, it will contain a long list of herbs and spices, flour (of multiple types for bread and general baking), tins of tomatoes, coconut milk, tuna, chickpeas, barlotti beans (for home made baked beans), black beans (for Mexican fare), butter beans (for Thai red curry) and sardines, a variety of chilli sauces, tomato ketchup, cheddar, butter, white caster sugar, light brown sugar, sultanas, dried apricots (for Moroccan fare), olive oil, sunflower oil, honey, wine vinegar, fresh chillis, fresh ginger, white onions and eggs.

Don't forget some people may buy foods which would be less suitable for you as they are Type 1 so look carefully at the suggestions.

At Iceland and Asda the frozen fish are 3 for £10 which is the lowest price I’ve found for salmon at the moment
