I'm eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge

No need to visit freezers today.
Dinner was roast chicken, HM potato wedges and salad - celery, red onion, white onion, pepper and sunflower seeds. As I write this - realised sous chef didn't get me a carrot from the garage - can't get the staff these days. :rotfl:

Evening all, hope all are well.

Finished the veggie week and not as good as it could have been, but due to trying to use up stuff I didn't want to eat just to clear space.
Loads of things I would liked to have eaten, but not enough time. A positive is, some stuff has vanished and hubby promises to get rid of the rest. I will eat the Quorn mince in a spag bol.
We will still have the odd veggie day and we did anyway, even if not planned.
No meat ate in a week, I wonder if we all managed to save at least one ....................... horse?

Ended up spending £7.86 yesterday and £3.75 today (check Sainsbury's for ice creams reduced by approx 75%).

Had minestrone today (with bacon) and almost a veggie day.
Just snacked the rest.
Put loads of tea cakes and fruit loaf in the G Spots (all reduced), but breakfasts sorted for quite a while.

Jan spends were £58.38
Feb so far are £42.17

Not much needed this week apart from cheese (Sainsbury's offer OOS, try tomorrow), potatoes and bread. Milk later in the week and any cheap veg.

Pancake Day on Tuesday - anyone excited??

Minestrone again tomorrow for myself, hubby is having liver and onions.

Didn't realise! I've only got hazelnut milk... wonder if it would work/taste ok.. got a shrivelled lemon and only 1 egg.

I've got loads of Green's pancake mixes (with golden syrup) to use up. Gave loads to foodbank also.

They were only 10p a box (50p minus 40p coupon).
Lemon juice and sugar for me. The golden syrup will be used elsewhere.
