Limited Budget Challenge - £5 for 5 Days - DAY 1

This is day 1 of an exercise in which I set myself the task of cooking meals for 5 days on a total budget of £5 As usual, there will be rules and permissions - this time though, no foraging, no scavenging, no freebies. This video contains the rules shopping, and Day 1 of the menu. Levitation is permitted for this week. It's important to note: this is NOT an attempt to 'play at being poor' (although it always does make me appreciate things that I normally take for granted), NEITHER is it an attempt to 'prove that people on benefits could get by with less' (in fact if anything, it proves the opposite - because this was a difficult thing to do - that's why it's called a 'challenge'). Primarily, this is an exercise that I set myself specifically to try to provoke a creative response; to nurture or develop transferrable skills of creativity and adaptability.
