One woman was throwing almost the weight of a small child away EACH week!Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-48092447901774928912013-01-23T09:06:23.097+00:002013-01-23T09:06:23.097+00:00I'll put on line later today, the list we use ...I'll put on line later today, the list we use for a monthly shop plus what we have ordered for this month. We have this delivered as we hate doing a big shop ourselves, especially as we have to drive quite a way to do it and both of our backs are not as good as they used to be. The monthly top ups are only done when we have other things to buy to save using up petrol unnecessarily.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-56630468924538898732013-01-22T23:11:46.753+00:002013-01-22T23:11:46.753+00:00It is so great to make a bit more and freeze it, ...It is so great to make a bit more and freeze it, saves so much time an money. I m reading that 40% of food here in the u.s. is thrown away and just the energy to produce it must be huge............... Wicked, wicked wicked as well as shocking. There will be some ghastly reckoning me thinks !!<br />My dustbin takes about six months to half- fill it and there is never any food in it except chicken bones which I could probably dry and grind up.....................<br />I love your blog - so practical and balanced...... lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345707661431587475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-6588514113694100422013-01-22T18:31:42.638+00:002013-01-22T18:31:42.638+00:00Glad you are enjoying your re-vamping.

I think our food takes up around 4 top single kitchen cupboards.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-36992593242933918082013-01-22T18:29:06.458+00:002013-01-22T18:29:06.458+00:00I'd rather keep using it and re-filling than j...I'd rather keep using it and re-filling than just filling it and not using.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-28146230650651314972013-01-22T18:22:34.541+00:002013-01-22T18:22:34.541+00:00I've got into the habit of doubling up everyth...I've got into the habit of doubling up everything I cook and freezing it. I've been trying to run my freezer down recently and am pleasantly surprised at all the extras I have in there. A month's shopping sounds good but I know I would be running out of things and if I should go out to buy those things, would end up buying more besides. A fortnight suits me best. Have a good week and keep warm.<br />Patricia xPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116574112768767203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-47479557341165516812013-01-22T17:03:55.813+00:002013-01-22T17:03:55.813+00:00I've used up quite a bit of stuff from the fre...I've used up quite a bit of stuff from the freezer this month. I'll have to have a day of cooking to restock with home made 'ready meals'.

I have been trying to live from the freezer too, I seemed to be buying fresh food and never using that which I had frozen - I have been surprised at what I have found lurking at the back of the freezer. elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-10299964783308798912013-01-22T10:22:53.194+00:002013-01-22T10:22:53.194+00:00My freezer supplies have taken a bit of a bashing,...My freezer supplies have taken a bit of a bashing, but I guess that is what they are there for.
