Eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge - part two
Comments
-
I've done a meal plan for a week around what was in the freezers, fridges, cupboards and veg/fruit store. I'm quite pleased with myself. It wont make a big dent in stocks just a tiny dimple, but its better than nothing. Then I went shopping for some basics with a couple of slight hiccups (haggis and chocolate seashells with a name I can't spell)
Today
In- freezer:- 2 loaves of bread, 7x2lt milk, 12 bread rolls, 3x YS haggis. pk peas, the fridges are full of fruit and veg as soup is on the menu most lunches.
OUT from freezer, fridge store or cupboards:- bread, eggs, turkey breast, herbs, spices, potatoes, apples, ice-cream0 -
