Things go downhill on day 5 of our Lidl inflation buster shopping challenge

It's day 5 of our Lidl "inflation buster" shopping challenge and things are starting to get a bit tough.

This week we are taking on the Lidl "inflation buster" shopping menu to see if we can live off their list for seven days.

The "inflation buster" shopping list claims to "feed a family of four for just under €80."

Every day for seven days we are trying out the Lidl menu and reporting back on whether or not the "inflation buster" shop really can feed a family for a week.

You can read the full shopping list here.

Yesterday we had to do a bit of a top-up shop for a few essentials such as milk, bread, cheese and yogurts.

Here is today's menu:

Breakfast: Porridge (served on it's own)

Lunch: Cheese and onion quiche (served on it's own)

Dinner: Bacon and vegetables

Unfortunately the menu is starting to look a little basic as we reach the fifth day of the food test.

We have no salads or apples left so the porridge was served on it's own as was the quiche.

For dinner the bacon was cooked in the slow cooker, and we served some vegetables with it. No potatoes left unfortunately.

We are finding it a bit tough now and may have to run to the shops again.

Stay tuned tomorrow to find out how day 6 goes.
