Used up all the food items concerning my mini-challenge. Didn't purchase any weekend-shopping food and have been busy collecting any salad greens from the garden.

Next mini-challenge will be to use up freezer stored :-

- small coconut flour bread (1)
- savoury slices (3.5)
- portions of sandwich fillers (2) and
- a cracker-type recipe (3.5).

this is a really good way to clear freezer, might start doing this myself

Since 6/11/17 -

Food purchased = 2 "yellow-sticker" cucumbers/local shopping.
UHT milk stock up, one fridge item and two freezer items (nearly 900gr)/online order.

Mini-challenge to use up ten items = three left now.

Long-term challenge = empty another freezer drawer before the end of this month (excluding the wild bird feed in it).

P.S. Thanks for your comment donnajt. I think I got the idea based upon another poster using the term "mini-challenge".

Just two items left (from the ten) to use up for my mini-challenge. The freezer drawer that I aim to empty is progressing. Took out two stored garlic soup portions and created some garlic bread; four helpings.

Managing to work around using present food "stocks" before purchasing more locally. Also, great when the weather is off-putting for going out!

Not posted for a few days. I'm starting to buy and put away bits for the festive period if they go on special offer so the freezer space I had created is slowly being filled. At least this year I should have enough space to freeze everything I want to in advance which is progress I suppose.
Friday/Saturday
In: Christmas stocks- smoked salmon, prawns, mayo, whole chicken, ritz crackers
In: General- Krisp Rolls, crumpets, tattie scones
Out: mince, tinned tomatoes, frozen cream, leeks, chicken stock, peas
Used up: bacon

Still working on today will post it later
