Just to wish you a Happy, healthy New Year, I won't say peaceful, unfortuantly!!! Thank you for the laughs and tears your blog brings!!! 😉
What a good idea. Did you find any "What was I thinking??" things? I did before Xmas - coconut milk and anchovies. I decant stuff into clear storage jars and label these now - the idea is when empty/nearly I know what needs to go on the next list. Certainly a lot to chomp through in your list.
Pretty well stocked up here too Hester. I used my Tesco clubcard vouchers to stock up on fresh meat and put it in the freezer and did a big Iceland shop with my Love To Shop card which we pay into all year. The tin cupboard is stocked as needed so we should last for a few months without doing a big shop. Just fresh veg, milk and bread. I'm going to look at the meat and cook up some ready made meals to pull out on days I can't be bothered to cook from scratch. Love being able to do that.
Thank you RQ.
TW, I love anchovies but don't have any at the moment.
Sheila, I get my meat from the local butchers, I save my clubcard vouchers and buy all the grandchildren tights, socks etc.
