What have done towards your prep?

Just finished canning Bolognese sauce and some sausages.
Found some foldaway tin openers in Wilkinsons so added a couple packets to the stores.

I bought a value tin opener from tesco a few months ago and put it away in a box, I was sorting out those boxes the other day and the tin opener was rusty and had green stuff growing on it... I hadn't used it and it was the only thing that seemed affected. It would've been something I'd have put away and not checked on or rotated, but I'm glad I did and now know to keep an eye on everything.

I filled up some 25l containers with water yesterday (my prep of the day).

Hmmm sounds like some part of the tin opener had a few copper componants under the nickel coating and verde de gris has formed as the copper oxidises, I cannot see this being mould unless you put it away dirty. Sounds very much like its made of such cheap materials like a copper and mild steel componants coated in zinc plating to make it look nice. Maybe better looking for a stainless steel one.

Stocked up on cereal before the prices go sky high.....Rice crispies, shreddies and sugar puffs £1 a box at ASDA
Got some packs of Angel delight type stuff from Tesco at 10p a pack, dunno if you can use powdered milk to make them ?
Managed to find some dried banana at 89p for a large pack, and last but not least Tesco on spaghetti strands at 23p? so bought 4

Wifey just phoned to say some Tescos are giving out vouchers for 50p off a litre of fuel if you buy £30 or more of breakfast cerials ( unconfirmed)

[Prepaday]

£30 of breakfast cereal? Wow..great marketing plan, Make us rush out and panic buy, then there WILL be a bloody shortage causing future cereal to triple instead of double in price...TESCOS FAULT grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

We used to often buy the huge catering / hotel sized boxes of cereal from trade outlets, we soon got through it.
