    Shopped yesterday so into freezer: soya sausages and nuggets, spicy bean burgers, 3 bags Quorn products (were on offer in Morrisons 3 for £3), green beans, 3 wholemeal loaves, potato wedges, frozen summer berries and 2 packs 'no pork' sausage rolls. Freezer's now full. Out: just some peas to go with a yummy stuffed crust pizza.
    Cupboards are full too but should last us at least a fortnight.
