Eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge - part two

This morning
IN [STRIKE]Nothing[/STRIKE]
OUT packet of nut loaf made up to go in fridge (will make own in future, was just intrigued to know if it would be delicious), last of alpen used with other bits to make granola for topping fruit and yoghurt (got a touch burnt!), two soya yoghurts (now only have one large alpro in fridge as opposed to eight small yogs and three large alpros), banana, strawberries and handful of blueberries

Last night's dinner was what I like to call Pasta alla Leftovers : I bunged in all the bits and bobs left over from the weekend's meals (a few spoons of peas, roasted peppers, gigantes plaki, cherry toms), added some pesto and chucked it on some pasta. Of course I ended up with leftovers of leftovers but I've bunged the extra portion in the freezer for another day's lunch.


Today's lunch was the rest of the leftovers that didn't quite go with pasta - hm humus, hm naan bread and a couple of falafels.

Last day of the month

Foods in red I cannot eat yet as I am on a special diet for [STRIKE]6[/STRIKE] 8 weeks - has been extended.

Should be reintroducing excluded foods by the end of March. If not, it might be time to throw some of these foods away. I'd like to be able to have a clean sheet before too long and not just keep trying to use up the older foods.

Total money spent on food groceries this month is £58.58.

Went shopping today and bought eggs, milk, potatoes, mandarins and two bottles of ginger ale. Also ate lunch at the supermarket with my neighbour, but that comes out of a different budget.

I've had one of the bottles of ginger ale today, but the other items I could have shown as bought for next month as not used yet.

I've added a few things that should have been used up in February. It is quite clear to me that I have previously been buying food too soon. I have too much butter, but I've not been baking or using it on bread so that's easily explained. The cheese is from before Christmas, and the cheese sauce a way of using some of it up. I've added the tagliatelli as that is one thing on the banned list. I have sponge flour to be used up this month - that is not going to happen as I've not even opened it. The yoghourt is never eaten before the use by date, but it seems ok for a while after that.
