What Preps are you doing this week? Part 7.

I drink a lot of tea with a lot of milk innit. I'm shocked at the price of dried milk though, it works out very expensive. Got some UHT which is bearable and can be used for puddings as well.
Jansman I got a load of bread flour in as well, stashed it in bottom drawer of the freezer.
My Sainsbugs delivery today is missing some bread and rolls, first time ever. They subbed other stuff in though.

We've been getting the dried milk from b&m recently and didn't find it that expensive. I only tend to use it at work so it's only really a few spoonfuls (and customers usually supplement my tea intake) so there's no messing around filling small bottles and washing them out after and no waste either. We have a stock of UHT milk for dire emergencies. UHT does stand for Ultra Horrible Taste doesn't it?

Agree re UHT! I havent got a B&M anywhere reachable NIDO on ebay is £26 for a big tin.

All good with my order. Lil! Delivery man remarked on the size of the order. I ignored it. Had much bigger ones pre-B****t. Lesson for me though. Don't want people noticing...

I wish I had got more now. We thinking to go up to Costco first thing tomorrow . I didn't do all this for Brexit but I feel I have to do it now.

I use a single level teaspoon of dried milk when I have a coffee (1 or maybe 2 a day). Very little powder, but absolutely essential! And I realised I only had a month or so left. Argh! Popped out to get it in store today, it wasn't delivered with my online shop earlier this week. 375g of Marvel dried milk - £4.10 in Waitrose next door to the train station, £3.70 at the Sainsbo just beyond. The online order had quite a few tins, and I thought the guy might comment, but he was anxious to get away, so I was lucky.

The B&M where i got ours was around £2.80 for the same amount. We brought several but i'm begining to think we should have brought more.

Wow I had to walk in that direction, so those are the shops that were open - we've got a Poundland in town, I wonder if they had anything in. At least I've got one ... at the rate I go through it, it'll last me about a year

[grenfell]

Unfortunately i said "was" because when i went in on Saturday there wasn't any left. Can't say about poundland as we don't have one nearby.
