  • Really sorted freezers out so had room for 2 chickens as Xmas presents for the kids. Then went shopping again and now have plenty of chicken portions (for me) lamb, beef and pork. Split into portion sizes and enough meats for me for at least 2 months meals. Must keep out of shops as I have now got a good weeks worth of vegs as well as freezers full of all sorts. Have frozen milk, long life and dried, bread making stuff. NO SHOPPING.

    Maple syrup
    Tahini paste
    Ice Cream (should have no trouble with that)
    1 packet of herbal tea
    Molasses
    Cocoa Powder (this is a bit of a cheat as it is nearly empty)
    Nutritional Yeast
    Potato Waffles
    Weetabix type cereal

    Turned out to be a very tiny amount of cocoa powder left. Made weetabix chocolate brownies, most of the weetabix were stale but some were ok.
