Last week I decided to go through the freezer and cupboards in the kitchen,I was so glad I did......
I only had to buy the bare essentials last week....bread,milk,toiletaries.
It is amazing what I forgot I had 'in stock'.Although I have not actually saved money (as I had to purchase the items in the first place),it was nice not having to do 'a BIG shop' last week.
With xmas only round the corner,this may give some MSE some extra ££££'s at a time when they really need it.
