    I've not updated for a couple of days as had my son staying. Nothing in or out though a few bits bought and used. I need to have a good rake through my fridge this weekend and use/freeze anything that needs it.
    Today:
    In: 2 portions trout in filo pastry, a pukka pie and 160 tea bags
    Out: a pork chop
    Used up: LO boiled spuds, a wedge of stottie cake, bbq'd chicken, cucumber, strawberries and the last banana

    In - bread, cucumber, packet mixes, raspberries, mushrooms

    Out - tin of peas, half of the mushrooms, some mince and two spuds, and a pack of rice cracker things.

    Have enough leftovers today to have the exact same meal again, just zapped in the microwave. We're eating dinner at a friend's tom, so if I'm not too hungry I'll save it for Monday.

    In - nothing

    Out - some veggies and a packet of tortilla crisps

    When will I learn that it takes waaaaay longer to eat through stuff than it does to buy it?!!

    I think, during August, I will not do a weekly shop, but just buy what I actually need when I actually need it, eg spuds. I wonder if that would work?
