Eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge - part two

dannie

I have just 3 food items from the set 15.5 to use up. These will probably take a little longer i.e high calorie. Anyway, will keep using other food stores, as in terms of freezer drawers, would like to empty another eventually!

Since 21/11/17:-

For my mini-challenge, 13/15.5 of the selected food items currently used up.

For my longer term challenge (to keep empty the second of four freezer drawers by the end of this month), a temporary delay? Some of the recently purchased "yellow-sticker" yoghurts are now in.

Food purchases have also been made. These were due to sharing delivery costs with somebody, who has become more regular with their online purchases. Also, they picked up a reduction for me locally that I requested. Lastly, myself calling at a shop, when I had another errand nearby. Saved a lot of money and the purchases were mainly long-dated store cupboard items regularly used.

2 of the frozen banana haul were used today, just about 9 left to go.

Today was the main shopping day, and as it is 'payday' it would normally have been a big shopping spend day, but still have a full freezer (though there is now space in the bottom drawer) so just essentials were bought.
