Meat!

In Sweden I am living on Lithuanian wages and because of that I've set myself the difficult target of eating for 100 kr (~10 euros) a week. More than a budget constraint, I am interested to see if I can actually do it.

I have been going to Lidl, the German chain supermarket that sells bulk items at cheap prices. Just in case you wanted 10kg of sugar in one trip to the supermarket, this is your shop. Oh and don't forget the 20 cans of corn at discount rates.

The remainder of the pork that Erik and I didn't eat.
Lunch tomorrow.

The problem with Lidl is that it doesn't have much in the way of fresh food. You can buy fresh meat, but the choice is limited and you need to buy 10kg of beef mince or something...they don't really have the small packets.

So I went to ICA, the expensive, but more regular supermarket with a larger range of vegetables and meat products. Fortunately they had a sale on marinade pork ribs for 19.90 kr per kilogram — unbeatable value.

My friend Erik was visiting for a barbecue, which is why we were buying the meat. At that price we got one kilogram of ribs each and took them home and grilled 'em up. 

We didn't finish them of course, but they were so good I went back to go get three more kilograms for the freezer — to let a good deal like that go to waste would be sin and wouldn't help me reach my 100 kr goal.
