Eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge - part two
Comments

It was such a nice day yesterday I made a salad as had a bag of leaves to use, with a y.s. goats cheese and a small ball of Wensleydale cheese, both well past use by but delicious. A few leaves left and my homemade coleslaw, but will have the lamb dinner from Sunday today. I will boil a few eggs as have plenty and may have the salad as a lighter meal somewhere.Do I need it or just want it.0

I got a turkey pie out (in the freezer from just after Christmas) and we had that with fridge (wonky) carrots. I also made a poor man's trifle - just choc chip brioche rolls with orange jelly and custard - all from store cupboard. Frozen chilli out and consumed Sunday and two more double portions of fridge soup ready for lunches this week.Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £9586.01 out of £6000 after August (158.45%)

I am going to try and eat out of my cupboards and freezer as much as possible once I get back from holiday in Barcelona. My cupboards and freezer are both pretty well-stocked thankfully. I'm going to set myself a budget of £10 a week (I'm a singleton). Any tips and suggestions, please?0

I'm not overly sure that this constitutes an out, more of a change.
Robertson's make your own marmalade has been turned into 5 big jars of marmalade.
I've opened a jar, and will give one each to our mum's tomorrow. And one for my aunt who has had a fall.
I also used the other jar of mincemeat to make another cake.0 -
