    Hi, I discovered the other day that my figures for my mini-challenge is 4/11 (not 5) of the intended freezer recipes used up. I do not know at this stage whether I can use up these 11 by the end of the month. There often seems something else I prefer. Anyway, will persevere and assess things at the end of the month.

    5/11 freezer stored (2017) batch cooked recipes used up this month (several of each).

    Two small bottles of food flavorings purchased last Friday. Weekend shopping were just a few "yellow-sticker" salad items. Yesterday, could have got loads of reductions but felt disinterested.

    You’ve done well dannie, even if you dont reach your goal you’ve still reduced things

    Thanks for your message phizzimum. Even though my mini-challenge is a slow process, food "supplies" are decreasing. For every one recipe, there were several portions made and when these are not being had, I am working upon using up other stuff (fridge, freezer or store cupboard).
