I'm eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge

Morning all, horrible dull day here.
Spent £5.28 in Morries yesterday, but that includes 2 x Bonne Maman jam (half-price @ £1.12 and I'll get 2 x 50p back from TCB), some hot cross loaves (2 for £1) and bread and bits including the 48p per 100g ham.
Off to Tesco shortly to use some Nivea coupons, Tesco clubcard coupons and Tesco gift-card (freebie), so all will be free there. lol
Hoping to get the free Maltesers from the Co-op, if I can get the app to work!!
Had toasted hot cross bun loaf for breakfast and ham sandwich later. Might be a Dr Oetker pizza and wedgers later.
Need to tot up weeks spends, but not too bad (£15'ish I think so far).
ms_night_ryder - I think it's much easier doing a £10 week for 2 rather than a £5 week for 1. Personally, I think £7.50 for 1 is more apt.
Car getting a service/ check over tomorrow and MOT Tues/Wed I think - fingers crossed. Anything under £200 (total) will be a massive plus!!
Catch up later.

Morning all. Had an embarrassing time at the dentist yesterday. Had laid back in the chair while the dentist prodded about when ds' face looms over me right opposite the dentist with him staring into my mouth. Of course I couldn't say anything, and was trying desperately not to laugh. Then when leaving the dentist, the toilet I'd brushed my teeth in earlier as been out for tea, had flooded. Ds was talking to the women clearing up telling them we'd used it, when he shouts over to me 'Mum did you do a wee or a poo!'. :eek: Of course everyone was laughing like mad, while I tried desperately to explain I'd only brushed my teeth.
Anyway, had Maccy D's for tea last night. Ds was supposed to be having a friend over for tea tonight but got a text last night to say something has come up. So had to tell ds this morning and he got upset over it. Not a nice way to start the day. He's going to be starting beavers tonight now (was going to start next week) so hopefully that'll take his mind off it.
Not sure on meals, will probably just be fish fingers and some chips things I've got in the freezer for tea. Soup for me for dinner. Yesterday was a NSD apart from tea. Will need milk today but not much else.There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.0 -

Riverford this morning, so OH has bread to chomp on tonight before shopping.
We're joining the Friday night hordes to go find flowers for his mother. He looked at Ocado flowers as order coming tonight but wasn't impressed. Have to say that I don't think we'll do better in ASDA or Sainsbury's frankly.
Lynsey were the Bonne Maman jams in Morries reduced or on offer please ?
Nothing in or out of the freezer yet.0 -
Edwardia - the Bonne Maman's are on half-price offer in Morries @ £1.12.
Got some of needed stuff today, basmati is on offer at £1.19 kg at Home Bargains. £2.19 spend on food there. Forgot sugar.
Had a small issue at the Co-op, but hubby stayed firm and we got the free £3 Maltesers. Also bought 2 Creme Eggs @ 2 for 85p and claimed back 50p from TCB (already payable).
Popped into Morries for flowers and got some more "Selected Seconds" chantenay carrots for 55p.
Got quite a bit free from Tesco .................... it pays to complain. lol
I'll get milk tonight and Bertolli from Sainsbury's.
Lip_Stick - nice story, but what was it?? A big wee??

Evening all, been supermarket shopping this evening, got flowers for Mother's Day, really good selection in Morrisons. Nothing bought for freezer, except a few reduced bread rolls but these will be used during the week. Bought a cooked chicken for dinner, had this with some fresh crusty bread and pickles. Will probably have the left over chicken for lunch tomorrow and will get some salmon out of freezer for tea.0

Evening all,
freezer movements too many in, and not enough outs, epic fail! Will get ack on track on Monday, honestly!
Take my hat off to all who manage to take out and use up more than they buy, any tips on how to do it?
Seriously, will get sorted next week. Meal planning over weekend, for next week will result in lots of healthy meals.0
