Thanks Mrs T and Got-it-Spend it (another cool name I can relate to!)
Will try both of these ideas; JP and bousin for work lunch in MW with OOD version and then risotto one night a few days later with the ID one.
Great ideas, why didn't I think of those?
Mrs T, do you want us to post the inventories? Can do but have so much stuff for one it is a bit embarressing!final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -
LOL post away! I'll be posting mine up when I do it tomorrow *gulp*
Last time I ended up striking things through once I'd used them so I could see the progress I was making

Having just came down off the motivational high of joining the live on 4K and shopping challenge I find myself back up there again!
Just had a little peep at my top shelf in the cupboard and found the olive oil that I lost and the cornflour that I forgot I had!

it'll be like christmas all over again
ive just done my cupboards and freezer,i think were in for some weird and wonderful recipes next week lol:xmastree:Is loving life right now,yes I am a soppy fool who believes in the simple things in life :xmastree:0 -
I'm doing this challenge too but every time I take something out of the freezer to cook it into something else there are always leftovers to go back in or else I bulk cook and need to put the results back in. It feels like one step forward and two steps back. :rotfl: Am I the only one who feels like the food in the freezer is breeding? The cupboards are looking a bit better than they were.0

Funnily enough I defrosted the freezer and logged the contents at the weekend. My cupboards are full as well, but I can see what is in them, so don't need to list tme. I've printed out a list for the freezer, and am going to laminate it, so that I can tick off, and add to.
I don't go to Mr Ts very often, even though its my nearest supermarket. But, I went earlier this evening, and the fresh smoked salmon steaks were half price 99p each. We don't like fish much, but these are really tasty - so I stocked up enough for 7 meals. It was a bit of good luck as I only had one meals worth left from the last time they were on offer.
They are ideal for a quick meal.
Whatever I cook, I always cook double, to freeze the 2nd meal.0 -
I'm sort of already doing this! One of my plans for the new year was to properly sort out the freezer, larder and storecupboard and I've had a good first week at it. I did put a bag of frozen peas into the freezer tonight but they are an essential! Meal plans for next week are done and also involve using up freezer contents so fingers crossed..... My total food shopping this week was £12.74 for milk, fruit and veg ang and some tinned bits, plus our fortnightly organic veg box at £12.95.
I shall watch this thread with interest - good luck to all.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Hi Mrs T and all others with bulging stores (that includes me). We have a thriving thread on this exact subject, so I'll merge this thread to that one
Looking forward to seeing what everyone else has in their storecupboards
