Approved Foods Parcel

Is it wrong to be excited that my approved food parcel arrived on Monday. I have wanted to order from them for ages but due to childminding I couldn't as a lot of the items have Best Before dates that have passed.

Now I am not childminding I can now order and enjoy - but I may have gone a little bit overboard. For those who have not heard of Approved Foods check them out HERE.

The main thing to remember is that you cannot order like from the normal supermarkets as items change from day to day from what I can tell. However, it was definitely worth it as I spent £70 and saved £135. The downside realising that I don't have the cupboard space to store it - so on Saturday I think I will be downsizing the kitchen cupboards and packing up some of the stuff up ready for moving a few weeks earlier than I had planned to OOPS.

This is what I bought - hope this works

And here is what it all looked like on my dining room table. The items in the blue shape are actually packets piled on top of each other so 6 in a pile.
