Wild Blueberry Forest: Eat & Drink for £1 a day (£7 a week) - 28 Day Challenge

Eat & Drink for £1 a day (£7 a week) - 28 Day Challenge - Day 28

Last day! Finally, the day I've been waiting for for 4 weeks is here. You'd think that would make the day harder, but actually it's been the easiest day so far, probably because I know the challenge is now nearly over.

I started the day with a small portion of the stew that was left from the other day, and then throughout the day, while I was out and about, I had three apples.

My dinner was similar to yesterday's; boiled rice with green peas, borlotti beans, courgette, a clove of garlic and half an onion, all boiled together in water with bouillon powder and dried mixed herbs.

Now all I have to do is go to bed, and then when I wake up I'm free to eat whatever I want!

Wow! Well done :)

Doing this for 28 days really was quite a challenge, I'm very impressed at the way you've risen to it! Also curious to know whether it affects your eating habits into the future.

It may well affect how I eat at least a little bit. Knowing that I am fully capable of surviving on not a lot of money makes me eager to cut back on my normal spending, although maybe not quite as much of a cut-back as this challenge.

About me

I am a Norwegian living in York, UK, and I’ve always been interested in food; the passion was awakened when as a toddler I was allowed to help out in the kitchen with my parents. As I got older I was allowed to experiment more and more on my own, and I was soon completely hooked.

All the recipes I give here are vegetarian and most of them are also gluten free. As I've grown older I have become more aware of how what I eat impact my body and mind, and so I try to cook reasonably healthy food. I try to avoid too much refined sugar and salt where possible, but I do believe that if sensible food is eaten most days, then one can have an occasional treat now and then. However, treats don’t necessary have to be super bad for you, some times food is both healthy (ish) and delicious.

I try to share successful recipes and some useful cooking tips on these pages, and I hope that some of my enthusiasm can be shared by others. I'd love to hear from you, and you are welcome to leave comments if you'd like.
