Eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge - part two

pamsdish

IN:Hake fillet, 2 roe
OUT: 2 more sausage as not enough, piece of brisket to defrost for tomorrow.

Zafiro84, I have been doing that all January, only buying fresh veg and dairy, enough toiletries to last until next January, don`t use milk or bread, will probably still need to keep it going until Easter.

Thanks Pamdish, do you find it hard to stay away from the shops? I think that will be my hardest challenge.

I called in Morries yesterday for a specific item, 3 y.s. fish, 2 y.s.pots of soup later bill was over £70 but £50 Amazon voucher and 5 saver stamps and got 12 tonic water with lime, which for some odd reason has been in short supply everywhere, there was loads of y.s. meat available, but that`s where I am most crammed, want to use everything and start from fresh meat wise.

I have cooked the last of the lamb I removed from the freezer over a week ago now and also cooked the YS chicken I bought when I succumbed to the YS shelves this week. We will have curry this evening, had a roast dinner on Thursday and I have added the chicken stock to the soup that is bubbling as I type. I might keep some of the meat to make a small pie - at which point it will have made 3 dinners and contributed to a weeks worth of lunches (soup). It reminds me of the old rubber chicken thread on here.

OUT: Rib eye steak.
IN: y.s. Lamb shoulder, 2 y.s thick cut belly pork slices, also got a y.s. chicken, instead of getting 1 out of the freezer for tomorrow

I never seem to be shopping when ys bargains are about. What time do you tend to go shopping and find bargains?

In:0
Out: bread rolls, runner beans, cooked turkey, ice-cream. nothing too exciting today.

I find after 10 a.m. a good time, not the cheapest, but all the departments have had time to sort what needs to go, after 2 p.m. second round of cuts, then the 6.30 p.m. death knell cuts.
Anyway that`s the system my Morries seems to use.
