A yearly supply of food cans

Whilst the majority of my food is fresh, I buy 24 food cans a year to fit my yearly food budget. I try to buy them on special by keeping a look out and buying in bulk. Whilst they are heavy, they will be easily transportable between homes.

They are:

10 cans of 800g diced tomatoes @ $1.50 each = $15

Used for Shepherd’s pie, Spaghetti bolognese, Tuscan bacon bean soup, Creamy chicken bacon pasta, Taco mix, Pearl Barley and vegetable soup, Osso Bucco and Chicken marengo.

4 cans of creamed corn @ $1.50 each = $6

Used for Chicken and sweetcorn soup and Tuna mounray.

2 cans of coconut milk @ $1.50 each = $3

Used for Chicken Curry.

2 cans of three bean mix @ $1 each = $2

Used for Tuscan bean soup.

2 cans of black beans @ $1 each = $2

Used for Mexican sweet potato wraps.

2 cans of corn kernels @ $1 each = $2

Used for Chicken and sweetcorn soup.

2 cans of 425g SAFCOL tuna in spring water @ $5.50 each = $11

Used for Tuna mournay.

Cans of condensed milk

Used for apricot balls and muesli bars.

The total approximate cost of this is $41 plus the additional cost of condensed milk.
