Morrisons Food box

In the absence of available supermarket delivery slots, I was researching veg box deliveries in the local area yesterday with no joy whatsoever.  They are all declaring that they can accept no more customers because of the huge surge in orders.  I did, by chance, come across Morrisons food boxes.  Morrisons supermarket will not deliver in my area but these boxes are being delivered by DPD so I gave it a try.  YES!  they allowed me to purchase one and it arrived in less than 24 hours!  There was a knock on my door and this box was on the step by 10am this morning.....

It was so exciting to find toilet rolls at the top! I quickly unpacked the box, laid the stuff out on the worktop then put the box in the recycling outside and washed my hands ;) ......

This is what I got for £35 including delivery:
Toilet rolls
Kitchen roll
Bread
Penne pasta
Bag of potatoes
Bag of carrots
Bag of onions
White cabbage
2 tins of soup
2 portions of microwave rice
and  A TIN OF HEINZ BEANS :) .....
EDIT and a cucumber

A block of cheese (my favourite brand)
Butter
Pasta sauce
Cravendale milk
Packet of ham......

In a separate package, wrapped in fleece and containing 4 disposable packs of ice to keep things cool was.....

A pack of steak mince
Chicken portions
Bacon
Sausages (Gluten free but I won't mention the Gluten free bit to G then he will eat them!)….

I am really pleased with the contents.  I'm thinking: cheese and potato pie; chicken curry with rice; pasta with the sauce; coleslaw made with the carrot, onion and cabbage; shepherd's pie; breakfast with bacon & sausage etc  With careful planning this box could feed 2 people for a week or a family of 4 for several days. As I don't eat meat (except a tiny bit of chicken) this should give G his meat fix for over a week. I will need to keep an eye on dates and so I froze the sausages loosely in a plastic box for later.  Well done to whoever planned the contents and a big THANK YOU to absolutely everyone involved in the packing and delivery.  You are amazing :)

Gratitudes

For ALL the supermarkets who are striving to keep the nation fed right now including donating to the struggling food banks

For everyone coming outside yet again to clap all the selfless people who are caring for all of us in one way or another.  I heard fireworks at 8pm although where they got them from is a total mystery...

For still being able to visit the allotment at the moment.  Potatoes, carrots, radishes & lettuce are in.  Yesterday, our exercise session was an hour tidying the plot in the sunshine.  Bliss.

Stay safe everyone, wherever in the world you happen to be x
