Have to make this last as long as possible...

you could cook a lot of your fridge stuff, either separately or together and freeze. If separately you can then add together to make or add to a variety of dishes.

You'll need butter and eggs, and I see neither on your list

Why not make something with what you have, and keep the idea of LMP for when you get to the end of the week and have some cash left Recipe here

Totally agree, dont buy more!

Youve got a lot of fruit there that needs using - you dont want it to go off.

Can you give pack-up takers a mini fruit salad in a tupperware?

The mainlyt veggie type meals I would suggewst are:

stirfry with the noodles with one chicken breast shredded and split between - carrots, peppers, chili, noodles, onion, sauce etc. Deep fried Aubergine is a wonderful accompaniemtn with this- lovely with a soy sauce dip YUM

Tortilla bowls with salad/ radish/ pepper/ mexican relish/ using the wraps.

White sauce with veg in, make into a pie using bacon, veggies, white sauce. POtatoes are a good buy Id say yu can have mash with this OR make a top with sliced potatoes ( cheaper and easier than making pastry!)

For tonight, how about roasting some of your veggies (mushrooms, aubergine and courgette, perhaps, as I find these go off quickest) with some chopped chilli and a pinch of dried herbs if you've got them (sorry, can't remember what was on your storecupboard list!), and serving either with pasta or wrapped up in the mexican wraps, topped with a bit of grated cheese? If you fancy pudding, you could follow with some fruit salad made with whatever fruit looks like it needs using first with a splosh of cream.

hey you do have the meat in the fridge- sausages, bacon, ham etc so you could use any of those

You can make a cream based sauce like carbonara with the ham or bacon, onions, mushrooms, as you have cream, it is the perfect marriage YUM
