We've been away for the weekend and buying in local supermarkets so I have a couple of yogurts to use up in addition to half a big pot in the fridge. There are potatoes, sweet potatoes, grapes, peppers, cucumber, a culinary pumpkin and carrots to use as well. Soup, anyone?
While away and shopping in different supermarkets, I was able to get more dried black beans, wholewheat cous cous, popping corn and a huge bag of almonds. Our local shops aren't good for dried pulses so I was happy with those. None need to be used up soon but of course they eventually will - and I still have cooked beans in the freezer from the other week.
I don't have a plan for meals this week and am working most evenings so DH will get his own and I think it's exactly the right time to clean out the fridge and make soup(s) so I have something healthy to eat before work.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
