Eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge - part two

[Deleted User]

Day 4 of no grocery spends. Hoping to go until Thursday, when Lidl have their veggie/vegan event (allegedly). I have loosely done a meal plan for the next 3 days, Breakfasts - smoothies, Lunches homemade soup and Dinner will be meals that I have pre-cooked, curry, savoury veggie mince, etc with wraps, salad, or bulgar/cous cous, all from the freezer/fridge. I do want to make coleslaw, so if I happen upon some white cabbage on my travels today, then I will buy it. That's the plan, anywho..... Have a lovely week everyone.

Yesterday the person I do an online (food) grocery order with decided to make it this week instead of the next. However, this was as a result of me "needing" an ingredient that I had run out of so the delivery was received today. I only purchased a few extra (food) items and the next online shop might next be in three weeks.

At the moment I am working upon using up "old" dessert recipes; bits of (freezer) cake and have also ground up some linseeds which were then added to make a "chocolate bun".

No (food) spend days = 12/15.

On one hand, very slow progress but also am wondering whether the freezer drawers are becoming less heavy?
