    You've just reminded me, I found a broken egg in a box of eggs this week. Worst of all it was the one time I didn't check before picking them up. :mad:

    So thats 16p so far.

  • I have used up all the random bits and pieces in the fridge :D

    :ridiculously pleased:
  • 'Ere, am I on me own 'ere? :p

    Had left over mash and three rashers of bacon in the fridge, so for hubby and I's lunch I cooked the bacon and chopped it into little bits, heated the spud in the micro and mixed all together with some cheese. Then fried in two patties, so potato cakes I suppose. Served with scrambled last-of-the-eggs and two forgotten bread crusts toasted back to life. Himself declared it lovely :very much chuffed: :D

    I get stupidly happy as well. Our fridge is always near empty at the moment (bar obvious things like milk, eggs, cheese, mayo) so I'm obviously managing to use up veg in a timely fashion!

    still using stuff up here, today ds is having leftover stew for lunch (it was pork stew i don't usually do pork but it was really nice cause it was done in the sc, it was shoulder aswell which can be tough) me and hubby havent really been eating so tonight i'm gonna make the kids tatie pie with the leftover mash and veg from last night and a few cocktail sausages which will be the last of our leftovers and me and hubby can have beans on toast

    but i found some soup in my fridge i opened last week i'd never risk eating it now, i'd say it's about 25p's worth :(
