I don't eat that many potatoes myself. On the first weekend in June, I finished my bag of Jersey Royals and the bb date was 30th April. They looked as good as the day I bought them (and only cost me 30p in the reduced)
I tried to do this in the past but have the commitment of a Swinger!

Have you got a Freecycle/Freegle for your area? Try putting a 'want' ad on there for a freezer (if you have room to store one), there are always lots on my Freecycle.

sunday will be the test for me. i somehow
Interesting thought that about comfort eating,I think I am doing a similar thing.
I have managed to wean myself off a daily shop and now only go once a week but still manage to buy enough to feed a family,and stock up as though theres going to be a famine.
I recently lost my best friend and shopping buddy .She was great
at telling me ,No ,you dont need that, .
I cOuld quite easily join in with this as I'm now out of smp and have fully stocked up cupboards and freezer in preparation for this!

I have two small freezers, an upright and a chest and there are only three of us.
The thing is, I call at the CoOp every day as I have to drive past it to take my daughter to school. They have reduced items every morning ie 400g packs of steak mince for £1.45, stewing steak £1.50 etc etc.
So I am buying things every day to either eat that day or to put in the freezer and the other stuff is not getting used.
I can't help it though, I hate losing out on a bargain!

My freezer is bursting and I'm wanting to change my eating habits so we'll eat our way through this lot and try and save as much of my shopping allowance for my new, healthier eating plan. ie.. leaving the reduced doughnuts and pastries on MrM shelves and head for the fruit and veg.
For lunch today I think we will have one of our many tins of soup!
