Living out of my store cupboard & freezer, how little can I spend to feed my family?

Never had a fail with that recipe

Don't know if you get clotted cream there, it's very thick and rich. I just use double cream whisked with touch of vanilla if for a special occasion but usually just butter and jam


Left over yorkies are nice spread with jam as well. Very traditional

I should ideally eat of my cupboards and freezers they are both overflowing with reduced stuff.

Last week bought 12 chunks of cheese for 25p each.

I have been craving chicken for months but freezer is so big I can't find it! Must be at the bottom shows how big my freezer is!

.

Well done on the cheese I would have done exactly the same.
I bought 2pints x7 last week at 29p and in the freezer they went it was blue top which I don't normally buy but I knew I read on the forum somewhere people had added water and it was nice so I've done this and added half a pint of water to them after I've defrosted.

I too was having trouble with my chest freezer so I did a swop for a tall upright and then managed to get a small one for £30. It's so much easier to organise.

My Yorkshire puddings tonight were amazing. My guys are now hooked.

You can serve them with stew in the centre if you do large ones. Also put a dollop of mash potato and sausage and onion gravy in the middle too.

Mongolian beef (left over roast beef) and broccoli (desperately needs to be used), with mushrooms, carrots and onion. All over rice.
Maybe some egg drop soup...

I found some bacon buried in my freezer and had some with scrambled eggs this morning. My husband always cooks breakfast.:D

I'm starting to see real progress in cooking out of my stores in the freezer.:j

My various shelves and pantry are still an overloaded disaster.:eek:

I used the lumpy mash to make some savory potatoe cakes. I chopped some red bell and green onion, added it with an egg and a bit of flour, breaded both sides with panko and saut!ed. It was really good with the freezer stored HM red chile (red jalepano) pork veg stew I had dug out. It's a version of posole I had made for my husband because he doesn't like hominy. I replaced that with white navy beans and he was a happy man.

I'm back from our holidays and have te stocked the freezer and cupboards as a ran them nearly bare - I'm determined to use the food I buy so been meal planning and it's going great - no waste and great meals - felt like it was such a waste of money having cupboards bursting and not eating it!
