    I've made a chicken pie today, using from the freezer - cooked chicken, cream cheese, bacon and pastry :)

    I also liberated a lolly :T

    We're having "bits" tonight. Basically I've had a rummage to find all the odds that are hanging around in the freezer, fridge & cupboard that need to be used up and put them all in the kitchen and told DD to help herself to anything thats there. Quick meal, declutters lots of things that may otherwise hang around, and leaves me time to get on with other things instead of being a slave to the kitchen cooking (also saves on the washing up as there's no pans ;)).

    DD is away tomorrow & Saturday night so I'll have store cupboard meals for a couple of days with no "I don't like that..." :D

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Tonight was a store cupboard meal of chicken drumsticks from the freezer, baked in a bag with paprika, and a potato bake made with a jar of Homepride sauce :D

    I've just moved in with my mum. We are both stockpilers, so after merging both storecupboards, I don't think we'll have to do any food shopping for MONTHS!
    Trying to spend as little on food as possible until it's all used up - this could be a fun and interesting challenge :cool:

    Good luck with that Jodes.
    I picked up some near OOD cheese and bacon yesterday. With a left over from Christmas pack of frozen puff pastry it was time for cheese and bacon puff pastry wraps (as once sold by Greggs, but they aren't very healthy!). They are very tasty, though.

    Today's store cupboard meal is a slow cooker chicken tagine, and I'll use up two of the seven packs of Ainsley Harriot couscous I'm desperately wading through...

    I've made minestrone soup using 4 leftover rashers of bacon, and a box of diced HG carrots (from the autumn glut :) ).
