I'm eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge

Nimm

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but where do you get the Heinz 5 Beans vouchers?

Thanks for your help

Lynsey

Nimm - the Heinz 5 Bean coupon offer has ended. Some people have managed to save it and still able to print the ones valid until 20/11/12 - hence still able to get free ones.

miss_emmajane - good luck with everything, hope all your effort reaps dividends.

It's turning into a pretty nice Autumn kind of day, can't complain and all washing is out to dry.
Pre-decorating is all in order and a few DIY jobs done - maybe I'll make hubby some squash. lol

Bacon cooked and bagged up and frozen and going to watch Doctors with a coffee and scone - just started.

Hi all

We are having a family BBQ on Sunday, and sadly I think I'm currently more excited about clearing out some freezer space than I am about the BBQ!! :eek:

I keep making lovely little lists for everything that I can use!!

Sad I know!!!

Steak for me tonight and veal escalopes for other half. One child at grandparents the other one will share my steak. Will have with chips from the air fryer, peas, carrotts & broccoli.

I don't normally post much on this thread but will have to start trying harder as looks like OHs company may be going into liquidation meaning he won't even get his full redundancy payment.

Lynsey - thank you, it will be in the end and these forums keep my head up - would be continuing into debt without them! Hope you enjoyed your scone

biscuitmad - I would be exactly the same, part of the fun is in the organising

Sorry for going off on a rant before, don't normally write ranty/negative posts but just got in a bit of a mood! Been to Aldi to get some fruit & veggies, and then went home to see my parents so in a much better mood now

Decided to make my own chicken & sweercorn noodles rather than getting the packed ones - used some of the dried noodles we have in, some chicken stock cubes and the leftover sweetcorn from my tuna pastas at the start of the week - it is bloody lovely!! So much more flavoursome - quick, easy and cheap so it is a winner.

Well done, I am sure you will be fine. :j

biscuitmad - hope all works out ok and looking forward to seeing you post more often - wishes to your family.

Sorted my "Corner Shop" today and tidied a few things up and done a little "stock take" (in my head anyway).
Still got loads of washing stuff - went a bit OTT I think with coupons.
Toilet rolls and kitchen rolls ............. can you have too many??
If yes, then perhaps I do have too many!!!
Toiletries - went a bit OTT there with coupons also, but won't come in wrong.
Things going down are tea-bags - only 1 box of 8o left an approx 40 loos ones - so next on my list.
Coffee is now down to only 6 x 150g refill packs. :eek: :eek: (double scary).
Found 6 Dettol hand-wash gadgets and several Jug-its (lol).

Fried rice later, with bacon, onions, peppers, peas, sweetcorn and fried egg chopped up.
Took out some burgers and will make my own meatballs to make a pasta bake for tomorrow's main meal.
Had another bar of chocolate (5 down now, or is it 6??).

NSD so far.

Lynsey - you can't have too many kitchen rolls and toilet rolls, it is a well known fact

emmajane - the chicken noodles sound yum!

biscuitmad - I get excited when I can clear something out of the cupboards. I make us eat things because they get on my nerves lurking about in the freezer for too long.

It must have been the day for stock takes! I did one of my cupboard. We need: salad cream, brown sauce, vinegar, sugar, flour. We are down to the last box of teabags which isn't too bad as I'm not drinking tea at the moment so that might even last us until Christmas as OH likes coffee more than tea. Randomly have lots of ingredients for chilli. Mince is the only meat uncooked left in the freezer so at least I know what I'll be making with that! Also need some tuna and sardines.


OUT: Took out the last of the lurking chicken, added the last jar of curry sauce, a tin of chopped tomatoes and a bag of frozen veg that had lurked for way too long. Made some sort of jerk curry concoction which will do OH for a couple of meals. Bag of rice out.

Also a bag of crumpets, a tub of soup, a pitta bread, sausages for tomorrow and 3 eggs have also come out of the stores. Plus the last of the Christmas day frozen veg was eaten and 2 portions of mash.

May also have rescued 2 donuts and 2 cookies from the deep freeze too :D

IN: 3 portions of jerk curry.


Rough meal plan for the week (needs some work for me obviously!)

Friday - Soup & Pitta (me) , chicken curry, bag of rice & naan (OH).

Saturday - Honey & Mustard Chicken with Rice (OH), Spag Bol (me)

Sunday - Braised Beef & Mashed potato (both)

Monday - Med.Chicken with chips (OH), Mushroom risotto (me)
Tuesday - Canneloni & Garlic bread (OH), ???? (me)

Wednesday - Spag Bol & Garlic bread (OH), ???? (me)

Thursday - Sausage, Egg & Chips (OH)


Tomorrow is September and I can officially think about Christmas (as if I haven't already thought about it!) and talk about it without people thinking I'm too mad

It's freezing today, i've put my heat on!!!

Today i put in 2 packets of tongue and half a packet of wraps, i took out a backet of baps and a packet of burgers, i'll be using the last of the bag of chips aswell.

Won't be going shopping for a week now so lots should be coming out.

L'Oreal coupons have updated.

If you use 2 x £2.50 skincare ones at Tesco before 17/09 on the WIPES, you get between £2 and £2.03 off the rest of your shop - free goodies for Xmas??

Boots and Sainsbury's have the Men's Shaving Gel cheap with the Men's Expert coupon.

My favourite coupons, pity they've limited to one per pc for each coupon.

:j Thankyou Lynsey, I will print mine in the morning. I am building up quite a hamper for my daughter from santa.

How many loo rolls is too many? I still have 3x 24pk of Charmin. I am worried that I will run out before they are back on offer.
We have just pulled out 4x toffee muffins for a snack later.
