    Weather conditions have meant no local food purchases this month so far. Consequently, I am continuing to use up "stores" and this should be until maybe next Tuesday or/and Wednesday.

    My mini challenge to use up freezer stored 2017 batch cooked recipes (several of each) is still not achieved. 4 more yet to do, so I will continue this month.

    Still not bought any food groceries locally this month due to the weather. However, it looks like the road outside is clearing a little but probable sleet and breezy conditions might put me off.

    Out 2 X filet steak, lamb chop, garlic bread, white currants, strawberries, apricots,
    raspberries.

    In nothing: thank goodness the rain has arrived the snow has gone now and it is still above freezing, let's hope this is over for this year. I have put aside a budget of £48.00 for the rest of the month because I have been on an enforced no spend due to weather and I can't see that either freezer is any clearer after eating out of them for 6 days. I am a food hoarder which needs to stop.

    The road conditions made it possible for me to walk to some local shops but nothing purchased. (Poor reductions and I thought that what I had was better at home). So far this month, no food purchased.

    Fridge is less cluttered and the food store cupboards are less packed. The 2017 freezer batch cooked items are very slowly reducing.

    Yesterday, went out for some exercise (i.e. bicycle) and to get some wild bird food. Also, purchased some coconut flour at a "Cash and Carry".

    Using up food "supplies" quite well, including those chosen for my freezer challenge.
