Comments

Normally I freeze things in plastic takeaway boxes first and then transfer them to plastic bags so they can be packed into little corners. I can't get the boxes in at the moment and a full-blown freezer audit is called for!Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £9586.01 out of £6000 after August (158.45%)
OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I am at £2226.88/£3000 or 74.23% of my annual spend so far

Thanks, made some soup from frozen veg and am not eating too much bread as I do not have any in freezer and so have to wait until dd comes(Friday this week) to bring more. Found some piri piri chicken in a tub - I did label this time - and some small nan breads so that for tonight, a boiled egg sarnie for lunch and some kebeb chciken (lump of) is de-frosting for tomorrow as I have some mini wraps in fridge. Could not fnd baked beans,may have some in my "Brexit" box but cannot be bothered to go look !!!!!!0

IN. Some packs of mixed game that we picked up half price
OUT. Some mystery meat and what I think may be a home made curry.
We have 2 freezers full, it’s amazing what you can find lurking at the back
Early new year resolution: Please can OH and self label everything instead of just “bunging it in”0 -
Very familiar with the no label system, it`s all so obvious what it is, until it`s frozen into a brick.
