  • Can I join In? I have all sorts of things lurking in the cupboards and freezer that I'd like to use up, and save a few pounds while I'm at it! I'm going to have a go at only buying perishables for the next week, max spend £20.

    The good thing about being proactive with this challenge last month was that the OH and I finished with so much money to spare in the food budget that we had a meal out.

    The bad thing about being so proactive with this challenge last month was that this month we had nothing in and as a result our shopping bill was so high that I've had to admit defeat and increase the budget.

    I will try to keep to the spirit of this though and make use of our now shocking full cupboards and freezer.

    OUT half a turkey carcass, plus a crown of turkey
    IN treacle/ginger and spice cake x 2

    Cold and windy here so I have just lit the Esse Ironheart. Going to make casserole and soup with the carcass and just cook the crown, all will fit in the Ironheart. I needed to use up a load of eggs hence the cakes, more to follow today but not sure which one as I need to look at the ingredients and use what I have in the cupboards.
