Then yoghurt and tinned peaches.3 -
OH is doing my requested prawns and pasta and so I was directed to pick up some single cream that will be mixed in. I expect there will be some finely chopped onion included too.
I'm getting ready to stock the freezer with some mushrooms. Tesco had some BBF today in a 1 kg pack for 67p. Thinking now I should have got more than one as the freezer is substantially empty since it was defrosted. Then again I also have a huge pot of apple sauce made late yesterday that needs to be sieved and packaged up for freezing as well.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

I polished off the last of the chilli paneer kebabs with rice, petits pois and sweetcorn as I realised that the leftover cabbage from yesterday would keep until tomorrow but the paneer really needed eating.
