we will need bread by sat or sun and fruit and veg prob by next mon or tues. But as long as i stay away from the shops then i'll be fine. cause i have a bit of a prob with food shops as it don't seem how little i need i just can't help but buy food and a trolley full when i'm there. i love food shopping weather i need it or not. so for me i'm gonna stay away as long as poss. hubby off work until 2 or 3. so will try and avoid until then. but pop to local shop for the milk or send hubby.0

Apart from fresh fruit and vegetables I won't be doing any food shopping for at least another week - stocked up on most things...have milk in the freezer with UHT cartons on standby, and have enough flour to make bread for a week or so.
And there's plenty of turkey....:rolleyes:0 -
I'll be heading to the farmers market on sunday for a baguette, some tomatoes, a few apples and some eggs. Apart from that I'll be good for at least a week or more without anything.Softstuff- Officially better than 0070

I just did a normal food shop with only a few extras for christmas in it, so I'll do another fairly normal shop on Weds too (new yrs eve). We go to my parents for christmas day so I don't have all of that to buy. My dh is working different shifts from today onwards so he needs packing up & the kids eat everything in sight so I've done a menu plan to include lunches & evening meals taking everyone's activities into account.0

We can go forweeks now at the very least as my tiny freezer is full to the top with meats, fish and cooked pulses. My stockcupboard is very very full and I could easily withstand a seige. I have about 30kg of bulk bought shiptons flour safely in a cool place. I get an organic veg box delivered from a box scheme and can order a wonderful fruit box too when needed. So nope I am going to stay away from the shops and I will save my pennies0

Don't need to go shopping til next week - have loads of veggies still in the garage (nice and cold in there) and plenty of other stuff in the freezer.
Planning on making a roast veg lasagne with my leftover veggies. Tonight's tea though will be cold meat, reheated potatoes and sprouts and an onion sauce with rice pudding to follow.0 -
