​Enjoying Deli Items on a Budget - August 2019

​Our Coles is a smaller store, which we find more convenient (less miles of aisles means faster shopping!) but the deli has quite limited hours. As a shift worker, I am usually shopping well outside of deli hours! To counter the higher per kilo of packaged foods from the dairy department, I try to buy when our favourites are on special and sometimes choose to cook bacon or other meats for sandwiches etc. We bulk out sandwiches and wraps (e.g.) with non-deli fillings even when salad runs out before our next shop. For example roast beef or ham with veggies is a tasty filling, and the veggies can be leftovers, or microwaved from fresh or frozen. They taste great when freshly made, and also travel to work with an ice brick. Great for a shift worker's meal!
