    Weekend shopping was just one fridge item (30p spent/75% off the original price).

    Tomorrow, I should finally use up one of my batch cooked 2017 freezer recipes which turned out like malt loaves.

    Food grocery money spent, so far this month, is less than that in January.

    You can download and print farmfoods vouchers anytime. I buy two trays of Pepsi Max, toilet rolls and mushy peas and a carrier bag each month £25.04. Use a voucher £22.54

    I bought a 6 pint ys full cream milk for 52p, over a week ago, I have made rice pudding in slow cooker, macaroni cheese x 4 portions in freezer and two soda breads with it.

    My mini challenge figure is now 6/11.

    Went out yesterday to see if there were any useful "yellow-sticker" food items due to the oncoming snow. Didn't purchase anything so will be using up "stores", probably until the roads are safe (bicycle transport).
