Shop when the supermarkets/shops have reduced their products. Decant bargain packs of meat into useful portion sizes,labelling carefully. Buy lots of reduced priced tasty breads when they get to 10p at the end of the day.<br /><br />A freezer works so much more efficiently when full, uses less power and there's less strain on the motor so it lasts longer.<br /><br />You could have a freezer full of bargains in NO time at all.<br /><br />Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-53407613856912532912011-03-28T09:20:01.868+01:002011-03-28T09:20:01.868+01:00Good luck - I think with all your planning etc you...Good luck - I think with all your planning etc you'll manage the whole week :)VintageVickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16468973681066716805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-76704911347956025432011-03-28T08:48:03.116+01:002011-03-28T08:48:03.116+01:00It has taken me 3 months long to get through the f...It has taken me 3 months long to get through the food in our freezer!

I have done similar challenges and managed a challenge a year or so ago when I was saving for the wood burner and allowed just £100 for the month for everything for 4 of us. There was nothing spent on clothes, books, shoes, toiletries, any luxuries of any kind at all, household items, gardening stuff, treats like magazines or sweets for anyone - and I put away a lot of money at the end of the month. Having well stocked stashes of food, toiletries etc helped no end - but it can be done. Well done for just trying but I am sure you will have a good week!Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875708145472914122noreply@blogger.com
