hello everyone just a quick question? i have some sausage meat in the freezer and some puff pastry and was going to make some sausage rolls and then freeze some.....but as i have frozen the sausagemeat first before cooking will it be ok to freeze any extra after i have cooked them???
Also anyone got some good tips for making my sausage rolls or more so making scotch eggs - was going to make some mini scotch eggs, anybody got some tips on these aswell?? and would i be able to freeze them?? thank you...

Declaring at €300, as I spent my balance on extra flour, tins biscuits and sweets so that I won' t have to find the money out of my December budget

Hi
I am declaring my months spend as 198.73 - Just under budget - and I am very very pleased with this - though food has been a bit boring at times

My task for December is to come in on the same sort of budget but to make it more interesting

Thanks
Topaz

Hi All, declaring at £280 not reallly happy with the total this month but have bought extra for two birthdays and some Christmas - and been really busy so haven't kept a brilliant tally - I buy F & V from a market and local meat too so don't always remember to record exactly the totals - so know I'm about there for the month. Will try harder next mont - first time I haven't done so well on a regular month and I think I have been a bit distracted - so will definitely be taking more care again in December.

Hi i have not been on this challenge before but would love to join for December starting Monday the 1st, i have been reading this thread for a while and have been cutting back,and it is suprising what you can save on. I think on average my shopping bill was over £600.00 a month i would like my challenge to be £300.00 for December.

Hi mummy2mygirls - I always add a packet of stuffing to my sausagemeat, means you get more that way and yes I cook them off then refreeze the ones that I don't need straight away and we have all lived to tell the tale!!
