Really really good excuse to use from freezers and cupboards. Always try to but now not going out so cannot replace (add to) stocks.

I've been meaning to go to Waitrose as I've got 10% off until tomorrow but it's in the next town and I'd have to get a bus there. I could get a delivery but it's a minimum of £60.

Didn't go, and now I have vouchers for £9 off a £60 shop or £10 off £100 shop on line. There is no way I can carry £60 worth of shopping or need £100 worth. Doing wonders for my purse.


In my cupboards

custard powder - don't know when I last made custard

oats - I use in muesli, but not made it for a while - new resolution, have started making muesli again

sponge flour - no idea when I will use this up

1 packet of coconut flour - used some of this up with the pastry but still have a lot left. Coconut tarts in Freezer.

Self raising flour - no idea when I will use this up

Plain flour - no idea when I will use this up

Thai curry paste - packet for 10-12 servings - have used a third of this today

Tin thai curry - not ever tried this, waiting for the day I decide to try it

[STRIKE]Keralam curry[/STRIKE] - ate it, but was not impressed

coconut oil x 2 - one started, not using as quickly as I thought

PG tips and Nescafe - I don't drink either so depends on who visits as to when they get used up

basmati rice - I'm not that good with rice, tend to use tilda packets

One Tilda packet rice, lol

[STRIKE]Peppermint tea[/STRIKE] - given to my daughter

[STRIKE]5 packets of Sensations[/STRIKE] - given to family

I've only spent 36.90 on groceries this month - I'm very pleased about this

I have done even better this month - only spent £30.79. I have bought bread, orange juice, milk, broccoli, carrots, eggs, potatoes, Quorn, cheese spread, baked beans, almonds and Alpen bars.

February 2018 update :-

Mini challenge to use up freezer stored 2017 batch cooked recipes (several of each) = 7/11.

Freezer drawers now empty = 2 drawers and one third of a drawer approximately from 4 drawers. The start of February = 1 drawer and two thirds approx.

Food money expenditure for that month decreased compared to January 2018.
