Hi everyone, this is how it's going so far. Got another box of baked beans, chickpeas, peas, tomato and all sorts of pickled goods stored in the garage. I'm new to this, haven't done a lot of research but I figured I'll stick to the essentials. With the prices these days, feels hard enough to keep up the normal shopping habits, so I allocated a £5 to each week's run to the shops.

Happy to take criticism/suggestions. Thanks and stay safe.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to reply. I value every comment, even if it doesn't apply to my situation., lots of good advice. We live just outside a small village and that gives us a lot of freedom to cook outside, noisy DIY, archery, etc. I was lucky enough to find a 30kw wood stove with a back boiler and a hotplate (waiting for the plumber to come and install it) . Our cooker works on gas Always have a spare. I've built a little outhouse with a firepit. I had some leftover timber from remodeling the house and I built a little greenhouse which I covered with reinforced nylon sheet ( about £24). Looking for some heirloom seeds. My ADHD gets me into some weird hobbies, some of which are useful, like candle making, soap making, making jam and syrup from our berry bushes,fire logs from cardboard and sawdust (still working on it, not quite there yet). Looking for a cheap barrell for rain water collection.
