    The hugely popular blog the Skint Foodie chronicles how Tony balances his love of good food with living on benefits. After bills, Tony has ￡60 a week to spend, ￡40 of which goes on food, but 10 years ago he was earning ￡130,000 a year working in corporate communications and eating at London’s best restaurants at least twice a week. Then his marriage failed, his career burned out and his drinking became serious."The community mental health team saved my life. And I felt like that again, to a certain degree, when people responded to the blog so well. It gave me the validation and confidence that I’d lost. But it’s still a day-by-day thing." Now he’s living in a council flat and fielding offers from literary agents. He’s feeling positive, but he’ll carry on Hogging—not about eating as cheaply as you can—"there are so many people in a much worse state, with barely any money to spend on food"—but eating well on a budget. Here’ s his advice for economical foodies.
    【C1】______
    Impulsive spending isn’t an option, so plan your week’s menu in advance, making shopping lists for your ingredients in their exact quantities. I have an Excel template for a week of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Stop laughing: it’ s not just cost effective but helps you balance your diet. It’ s also a good idea to shop daily instead of weekly, because, being-human, you’ll sometimes change your mind about what you fancy.
    【C2】______
    This is where supermarkets and their anonymity come in handy. With them, there’s not the same embarrassment as when buying one carrot in a little greengrocer. And if you plan properly, you’ll know that you only need, say, 350g of shin of beef and six rashers of bacon, not whatever weight is pre-packed in the supermarket chiller.
    【C3】______
    You may proudly claim to only have frozen peas in the freezer—that’ s not good enough. Mine is filled with leftovers, bread, stock, meat and fish. Planning ahead should eliminate wastage, but if you have surplus vegetables you’ll do a vegetable soup, and all fruits threatening to "go off" will be cooked or juiced.
    【C4】______
    Everyone says this, but it really is a top tip for frugal eaters. Shop at butchers, delis and fish-sellers regularly, even for small things, and be super friendly. Soon you’ll feel comfortable asking if they’ve any knuckles of ham for soups and stews, or beef bones, chicken carcasses and fish heads for stock which, more often than not, they’ 11 let you have for free.
    【C5】______
    You won’t be eating out a lot, but save your pennies and once every few months treat yourself to a set lunch at a good restaurant— ￡1.75 a week for three months gives you ￡21—more than enough for a three-course lunch at Michelin-starred Arbutus. It’ s ￡16.95 there—or ￡12.99 for a large pizza from Domino’ s: I know which I’ d rather eat.
【C2】
选项
答案C
解析 段落第二句话中的代词“them”指代第一句中的“supermarkets and their anonymity”。该句通过这一指代顺接第一句，表达了一个否定的含义，即你不需要在小贩那里感到尴尬。紧接着第三句用肯定的语气指出“if you plan properly．you’ll know that you only need…350g of shin ofbeef…”即如果你合理地规划，你就会清楚你需要多少，而不是超市提前打包好的分量。作者通过语义上层层递进的方式指出了这一段的中心：你需要什么就买什么，对你所需要购买的东西的分量要坚持。因此C项正确。
