:T:T food shop this week £6.25 :T:T
Milk, peppers, fruit
Absolutely delighted with this and garage fridge now looking much clearer. I'll be ale to give both fridges a good clean tomorrow.
I going to look for a second hand small slow cooker. I want one for cooking much smaller quantities. Will scour the CS.
My freezer is beginning to have a little space, not much but at least the sides don't need to be rubber now. We are having a bread making session tomorrow - cheese and bacon loaves, rosemary and garlic loaf, roasted tomato loaf
:):)
Kids back to school on Monday so DS is baking biscuits for their lunch boxes tomorrow.

Hi AJ, don't forget to check SuperSavvyMe for discount vouchers (you may use them already, so apologies)
The discount vouchers on here are excellent as well. I struggle to be consistent in this area and is something I want to improve on this year.

Was gonna suggest freecycle but I see little Fred bet me to it, I got one from there ( slow cooker ) and it's been great

Is the spreadsheet for food planning hard to work? My food budget and my food planning are real weaknesses of mine, I need to try and get more control of them and wonder if the spreadsheet idea would work ? c1 -
Evening LittleFred, will check freecycle out tomorrow, thanks for the tip

Elantan, the spreadsheet is no different from a basic table really. Days, dates, meals, recipe book if needed, when to take things from freezer. Happy to send over to you x
NP, kitchen will be smelling rather lovely tomorrow - as I'm losing weight I'll have to just sniff them :rotfl:
