    In: nothing
    Out: 2 slices of bread, small piece of baguette and a duck- I [STRIKE]might[/STRIKE] have ordered 3 52oz rump steaks and 4 venison steaks:o so need to make room, but the price was too good to miss and the big steaks cut up beautifully into individual ones. Duckie will be portioned, I'll sous vide the breasts for later use, roast the legs and make stock for noodle dishes so it won't be wasted;)
    Used up: nothing

    Thank you Fayew. I do the same Coronc hence why I had it all written down. Makes life so much easier but you're right I sometimes forget to add to it. This forum helps. Off away to see DD so

    So yesterday we had a few bits

    Out: mince in gravy, mash potato, Yorkshire puddings. Soup and Bun. Crunchie ice cream bar.
    In: nothing.

    Today

    Out: 3 chicken and gravy pies, chips, 1/2 loaf of bread. Raspberries
    In: nothing (yet lol).

    Hoping to clear a bit more from the freezer at the weekend .. The boys always manage to work their way through a bit while of school.

    Can't wait to empty so I can finally get it organised properly and cleaned ;)

    I've really been making progress with eating from stores. Until there's a bargain and then I stock up...!
    The freezer is looking a bit better as I've eaten several things from it. I sorted out one drawer of it to see what I have and to organise it a bit, and found 10 packs of bacon! Think that'll feature quite heavily in the next few weeks and months.
    My weekly shop was just the essentials this week - less than £10, so this means I should be able to make a nice dent in the freezer/cupboards.
