I'm eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge

ms_night_ryder

Right have finally worked out my annual gc budget and in the first quarter i went £10 over budget, which is not too bad, since i have now bulk bought laundry liquid courtesy of persil coupons, i have 7 bottles which is enough for about a years supply im guessing since its only me and on thursday i bulk bought 14 original source shower gels at 40p per bottle in the mr s glitch, so that will last at least until the end of the year/jan along with the 5 bottles i already had.

so for the next quarter i have £158 to spend, im trying to build up my vouchers points etc until the end of the year, hopefully have enough to use for 2-3 months with no spends out of my pocket.

Have x 2 pork joints, 4 chicken legs, 5 sausages, oxtail in the meat drawer at the moment, with 5-6 salmon fillets to be added, cant be asked to do an inventory but i have alot of stuf that needs using, i took out a pack of 6 crumpets to be used over the weekend and last night i finished the butterscotch ice cream from mr w.

having a major chill out weekend, its needed, do a bit of cleaning and cooking while im at it, just need some time for me, rather than working or going out.

Lyndsey you got any tips for mission control? I only have 3 stickers and 2 coupons

If you click on the pink label at the top stickers it will bring up a list of all your stickers that you have collected so far and if you put your mouse over the blank ones it tells you what % you have gained towards your other stickers. Have a look and you will hopefully see what I mean

Afternoon all,

Where has the sun gone??

Toast for breakfast
No lunch, dd had cheese, ham, lettuce & cucumber on a plate (she asked)
Chicken burgers and salad for dinner

We've just made twinks hobnobs, OMG they're amazing but they never last longer than a day or 2 even with only the 2 of us (oops)

Had my first mission control reward in the post today so hopefully will recieve them all in the next week or so :j
I had £10 l2s voucher so waiting on another £100 l2s and 2 hampers, fingers crossed

2 more sleeps until my bed arrives :j

Have a great day all

Evening all, just come in from the garden, having had nothing to eat since breakfast of two free range boiled eggs this morning and about four mugs of tea all day.

We bagged up five bags of homemade compost for my mother as we can't use it all, dug out all the plants which died over the winter, drowned the garden before hosepipe ban starts tomorrow and spring cleaned the drains (eww). Also swept and scrubbed the terrace and paths, got rid of all the algaed-up buckets of rainwater, cleaned out the shed and sowed several trays of herbs and baby leaves.. and did two loads of washing..

OH is doing an all day breakfast type meal of sausages (from freezer) eggs, burgers ( OH's from freezer) mushrooms and peas (from freezer) before we crash out and watch DVDs. Just soo kerknackered....

Hope everyone well, enjoying the weekend xxx

*waves* Hello!

Think it's about time I joined in here properly. My house is heaving with food and I'm not sure I can fit anything else into the chest freezer!

Definitely too much of buying more without using what we have going on here. There's 3 of us, I'm veggie, my DH isn't and we have a 10 month old DD.

If I feel brave I'll post the list of what I (approximately, there will be a bit more now) have in the freezer... :eek:

I'm going to keep getting my ys bargains though, can't be parted from those. Last night the best one was one of those pre-prepared butter basted chicken joints reduced from £5.00 to 50p!

Not sure what's for dinner though...

Wow Garnetlady, excellent bargain there on the chicken.

hubby got us out a chilli for dinner from the freezer (homemade leftovers) and I have been happy with the idea. Then just had a desire for a large pizza I know is nestling amongst the ice so hubby put the chilli back (luckily not defrosted) and is now digging out the pizza.. bad for me yeah but it was yellow stickered (like most of my freezer) and is huge so wants eating.....

Hi GarnetLady :hello:and welcome.

Kats, I hope you enjoy your dinner. **envious** cos i luv pizza
We had pork chops from the freezer that were whoopsied a few months back, with home made chips using spuds from Lidl that were a total bargain and needed using up

Sounds like a hard day's work!

Made a vegan panettone this afternoon, smells delicious but the truth will be known when I get back from the gym tomorrow morning.....

Am down to just 26 Weetabix now, so an end is in sight .

I ache..

VfM you should have a medal for eating Weetabix, it's either throat-irritatingly dry like pressed sawdust or wet like mushy babyfood..OH claims that's why people like it..
