We've been away a few days, partly self-catering. In my case that means 'Ooh, a new supermarket! I wonder what bargains they have!' Never fails.
Out: garlic bread, also lots of £££ from eating out during the city break part of the trip.
In: 2 pots of crowdie, yogurt, desiccated coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, 3 packs of sausage meat (reduced from £2 each to 50p each), pears (all the above were discounted), marmalade, tins of fruit, tins of beans.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Not much out today just a bag of carrot and lentil soup for lunch!
I'm roasting a gammon joint this evening so there may well be some slices going into the freezer but not sure yet.

I am still here - life is just manic which means loads in and little out
Can't even tell you what has gone in but at very least - bread, milk, white fish, gammon steaks and 12 cornish pasties!
Out today - bag of homegrown onion and a bag of lamb mince (Moussaka for tea tomorrow!)
Have managed to meal plan today so should be more out and less in - just need to get into the swing of some more new work hours as I have been promoted. Once I am into a routine things should get better. Allotment and seed planting has commenced so actually, the freezer(s) will need running down for that *sigh*
