Still plugging away at this, and have successfully emptied and defrosted my chest freezer. Although it still needs collecting, so is in the way a bit.
I now only have two freezers of food, which are both in the kitchen (one integrated and one freestanding) . My aim is to have fruit and veg and basics for two weeks worth of meals (one if doable)in both, so still a work in progress.
I have used too much up to list individually (plus it gets boring to read al the time i am sure).
I now have desktop pc in my room again which i am typing from now, aswell as other gadgets; so by rights i should be able to keep up.
Minimal order from Ocado coming tomorrow as needed vegan cleaning wipes (for stuff like granddaughters toys and cat's microchip bowls, which is all i use them for ... doesn't work as well with spray and cloth. Half price, so have bought four packets to stock up). Should come to a few pence over £40.00 minimum spend.

Ocado shop came but only had little spends of £2 or so at work since then, and the odd £8 or less spend in Morrisons. Had to throw some things out that had spoilt, but still using everything up. Need a few bits from Morrisons this aft, probably just salad stuff sans lettuce and mabe garlic bread ... need to check meal plan downstairs so i don't buy unnescessaries.

Not going to achieve my 'spend less than £10 a week' challenge as OH has gone shopping today. Oh well, we are still spending less than usual.

I think he hinted the other day he needed feeding

So far I've managed not to spend this week and survive, but it's only because I've grown my own potatoes and I'm picking the first of the strawberries. However, I will need to go out and get a very very essential bathroom item tomorrow but I'll try to be very strong willed not to buy anything else. Maybe, I should leave my glasses at home??

OUT some gammon and turkey.

USED UP half a jar of mincemeat and the rest of the filo from the fridge

probably only have enough in the small chest freezer for a week then will move onto the freezer drawers from the fridge freezer. Not much in there except for fish so feeling quite positive about joining this thread and hopefully saving some money.

Almost did what I said, the bathrooms now have their loo rolls and the extra was only a reduced pot of chives to split and replant. It should save me money in the long run.

OUT turkey thigh, small piece goats cheese, 4 slices bread.

IN nothing

EVERYWHERE ELSE veggies, apple, satsuma, a jelly and a few walnuts,
