Store cupboard challenge

HariboJunkie

Taplady/Thriftlady.... The ovaltine was reduced from £1.69 to 29p at our lidl!!!! So I couldn't resist and DDs think it makes them sleepy so they're getting a milky drink every night before bed.

BigMumma.... I'll do my best with the recipes. Some are made up and some come from ancient cook books and magazines so I'm not sure where I stand with copyright.

I know my muffin recipes are on the board somewhere already (probably the main muffin thread) and I'm sure the chicken liver pate is here somewhere too. The pepper sauce is definitely on here too.

I use an easiyo flask for my yoghurt but don't use the mixes. Here is my method

Change of plan already as the little girl who's coming tonight loves spag bol apparently so I'll do a vat of that. The one in the freezer isn't big enough but I have all the ingredients in to make a fresh one. Just need to pop out for milk at some stage and place a small order with the butcher for the weekend.

Will be eating into my coffee stocks today as I sat up all night to watch the election.:D Just planning on an extra early night tonight.

OOooooooh can I come in? I have no available cash for food this month bar milk and have pretty hooooge stores (much to the amusement of all friends and relatives.) I'm hoping to not spend anything extra this month on food - goodness knows I have enough food to feed us so it's just applying strength of will to not go to MrT - if I do it's likely to involve using a credit card so I think my first job will be to refreeze them!

Righto here's my *only need these bits this week* shopping list for the next [STRIKE]5 years[/STRIKE] 4 weeks..

3 x loaves *boys love Toastie* I make the rest in the panny..
6 x 6pints milk *I need to buy a cow*
6 x strawberries :eek: (most of you know the score on this one with DS3):D
Fresh fruit as needed (I do have a huuuge amount of frozen from the garden)
Fresh veg as needed (as above and still have turnips,lettuce,kale,leeks etc growing in the garden)

So really I just need to block Tesco's website from my pc and we'll be fine

kersplatt

D&DD - I need to do the same! Mr T is banned! Can I just ask you how you managed to clear your debt so quickly? I know it's off topic but everytime I see your signature I wonder because we have a similar amount of debt and I'm depserate to get rid of it!

Hi Kersplatt no prob, I'll stick a vague summary on the If things get tougher thread for you

I've just been upstairs and counted my *reserve supplies* of coffee and found I have 23 jars...I think I definately need to do this as this isn't counting my *main store* :rotfl:

catznine

Still working on that list and starting to feel ashamed!:o
29 tins of fruit! :eek: Keep me away from the supermarket please!

Gryfon

29!!! I think I have one...maybe two at a push :rotfl: I know that I do need to buy things like meat and veg, seem to have most of the basics covered!

Hello! :j Although I haven't posted on this thread before I've been doing the storecupboard challagne and it seems to be going well. I've found that I'm trying new recepies since they match my ingrediants!

I 'found' a lamb fillet in the freezer. Can anyone advise me how best to cook it and perhaps what with?

Hope you don't mind me picking your brains
