I'm eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge

Anyone got a decent recipe for wholemeal wraps? I've got a bag of wholemeal flour I want to use up, don't want to make bread and thought wraps would be a good idea as I've got quite a lot of bits and bobs in the fridge that would go well in wraps. Ive tried a search but they all seem to use White flour. Thanks

Sorry zafiro1984 I haven't - could you not just substitute the white flour for wholemeal?

Morning All, got the biggest chilli I have ever made in the slowcook today, have bulked out with mushrooms, onion, kidney beans etc might even throw a handful of value oats in later on.

Am going to make a chilli pasta bake - topped with unwanted crushed ready salted crisps (I have about 16 packets of them) and cheese.

I will freeze half and use it for a chilli and potato wedge bake at a later date

Kids home today - childminder had emergency - my little one is really playing up and being ill and having to deal with him hitting and punching (yes that lovely age) is exhausting

Morning all.

Had toast for breakfast and hubby finished of some Linda Mc stuff and had a veggie brekkie.
I'm just snacking today and might have a ready meal tonight - hubby has curry for today and tomorrow.
Hoping for a NSD today, but will need milk tomorrow.
If I do miss Lidl this weekend and it'll be the first time I miss the cheap chocolate, then I might keep spends under £10 for the week. If I can do another 3 under £10 weeks, then I might just manage the 4 week £60 target - that Nestle Factory Shop order next week will be just over £21 - ordered now and don't want to cancel it.
To be honest, I could live on £10 weeks for ages and ages ....................... but won't as I'll miss the bargains!!

Morning all, well today i have had toast and having a bag of crisps just now, lunch soup and tea is going to be burger in a bun, chips and salad i think. Never managed to post yesterday as was at the dentist and had toothache as got a filling and it was a deep one close to the nerve and wow after was it sore the best of it was the tooth wasn't sore and never gave me any bother. The night before i had a spliting headache and was feeling sick so didn't think i was going to manage to go but they charge you a "fee" for late and cancelled appointments, wish i could charge them for being late haha. Have a nice day everyone, going to tidy the kids "bomb sites" sorry rooms soon.

Lynsey I am finding my low budget quite easy tbh, I have had over £40 worth of goods free or discounted in the last week alone, including 2 Christmas puds £5 full price each, matchmakers at £2.20, ww meals £3, beans, Cadburys rolls, betty crocker cookies I spent £7 last week this week I've spent under £5 I eat really well, always get my 5 a day, just proves what can be done really.



Today I'm going to have sausage and mash for lunch, take out a ready meal from the freezer, i fancy seafood pasta and it will clear a bit of freezer room.

ms_night_ryder - it's discipline I need, I love grabbing those bargains even though I don't need them.
I could manage 4-6 months at £10-£15 pr week and still eat well and probably not clear the freezers!!
I did really well at the start of the year as I was being extra frugal. I've got too much of my budget left and that's the problem. I should have tried to get to the "end" on £1200 and could have been done, but wasted quite a bit of late with £25'ish weekly spends!!
This weeks almost finished and 3 more strict weeks and then just December to go.
What I want to know though is .................................... who's grabbing my bargains when I'm not buying?? :rotfl:

Think I'll do a Green's cheesecake tomorrow when I get some new milk. Gammon and sweetcorn will be main meal and garlic prawn stir-fry on Saturday - sorted.

low cost chocolate? no problem with the job I have (working foh for a theatre)! case in point - I have an absurd eye for detail, and last week when I was in I noticed there was a branded chocolate that was going out of date, and all of them were in bags.

fast forward to tuesday night and I remembered this and went around to the various bars in the building. we found 50 - yes FIFTY - bags of these chocolates in total and had to waste them off! and then they got given out as freebies to the staff - although at last count there were still 35 bags littering up the managers office LOL.

Donnajt don't know if you have a poundland near you but they sell Lloyd grosman sauces there 3 for £2.00, you can mix and match with the other sauces and there's rice and pasta. May help as i know i prefer the lg sauces they taste alot better than the supermarket ones i think.
