Saturday Stock Up

I was up early today and headed to the shops for basics in order to have food in the house so that I can avoid having to go out unnecessarily.  I don't tend to keep a lot of food in the house and generally shop day by day in order to avoid food waste. 

However, with the progress of the Covid-19 pandemic we decided to go for a shop this morning and went to both Lidl and Supervalu in Ranelagh.  The shelves in Supervalu had very low stock levels but as we were shopping a big delivery truck pulled up and staff started taking in the supplies and immediately began to put them out on the shelves.  While in Lidl the shelves were fairly well stocked with the only thing in low supply, from what I could see, was eggs.

I bought some fresh meat (which I put in the freezer), tinned food and a bit of cheese and bread.  Alongside all of that food, I also bought rashers, sausages, eggs & black pudding in order to make a substantial meal for breakfast.  And then Ciaran put a box of cornflakes in the basket with some milk.  I reckon we are set for a week.

I intend to make Keto Bread so also got some Kerrygold butter which is part of the recipe but also is the best slathered all over the bread!
Click here to see the Keto Bread Recipe I follow which uses Coconut Flour. It's ridiculously easy to make and could get us out of a fix if shops are closed.
Separate to all of the above, we are continuing with our packing and decluttering of the house and getting everything in order for our move to Malaga. At the moment, Spain seems to just behind Italy in regards to increasing cases of Covid-19.  Non-essential travel to Spain is not advised but flights are still running at this point.
