    It’s a few years since I participated but I really really need to save money and use the dregs. I had a carbonara the other day that had a BBE fresh of 2016

    So I’m back. Might not be a daily post but I’m going to use this inspiration (saving the link ) to help me spend less in October (and September)
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Finally used one of the cabbages that has been camping in the back of the fridge since the last week in August. Cost of two sad leaves and a bit more trimming than normal round the root. Added to half an onion, the middle of a head of celery and a veg stock thing, herbs, tabasco, Worcester sauce and a little cream and butter - yummy fresh soup.

    Made a second batch with roasted onion, tomato and leek with the rest of the cabbage and it is in the slow cooker. Smells OK

    I had a mystery meal out of the freezer last night - mashed potatoes, veggies, and some bits and bobs wrapped in tinfoil. The garlic bread was fine, but what I thought was a bean burger turned out to be a cherry scone! That’ll teach me not to unwrap things before they go in the oven!

    After a 14 hour day today, I cannot tell you how much this made my laugh. Thank you so much for sharing :rotfl::T

    Out: 6 mini pittas
    In: Nothing
