We needed a TV guide for next week, and had run out of potatoes completely, even tinned ones so Graham's last £5 worth of Nectar points were required to top up. This is what we bought....
And this is what we spent....
We parted with just 42p in cash 👍£5 Nectar points
Today is Thursday 30th January and I'm fairly confident that we will not need to buy anything else this month. The garage freezer is switched off and defrosting ready for cleaning later today. The remaining frozen items have been squeezed into the kitchen freezer and I know what frozen food I have left!
😜😎
I need to start as I mean to go on now and write everything down as it goes back into the clean freezer. I got very lazy and forgot to log things as they were put away which makes life very confusing when it comes to meal planning (or should I be trendy and say Reverse Meal Planning! 🤣)
Nectar points spent: Graham £20.00 Angie £25.00
Boots points 565
Cash spent: £93.50
We've eaten well and spent less than the £100 allocated. In fact, there's £6.50 left so I'm therefore going to call this challenge a success👍

Regarding bubble wrap....Vivi from What Vivi Did Next on u-tube mentioned that someone had said that if you fill any free space within a freezer with bubble wrap it make it work more efficiently, so, whilst I'm slowly re-stocking, I'll try that, I think.
Thank you so much for following me this last month. Stay safe and well wherever you happen to be,

If you put a large box of teabags inside a plastic bag, that will also work to fill up your freezer space efficiently. [And free up space in your kitchen cupboard]
ReplyDeleteAlso toilet rolls and cornflakes as they are already in a plastic bag.
ReplyDeleteLoaves also fill the space too, and you only need to take out what you require. Xx
ReplyDeleteWe put freezer blocks in. The sort you use at picnics
