No spend January. Almost

I’m trying to not buy too much from the supermarkets. 
Using up what I have.  No only saving money not spent but also not throwing 
Out food. 

I made this breakfast bar 



The 100 cookie dough recipe 



I used a quarter of the batch and frozen the three other quarters 
I now unfreeze them when needed and cook with Ana or the girls. 
Without too much mess lol 


I also have bread rising 
I’ll leave it for a couple of hours before the second rise that way 
It will be ready for dinner when hubby gets home. 



I now do not have any flour left in the house. 
So if I want bread, and who doesn’t, I’ll either have 
To buy more flour or bread. 

So of course it’s not strictly a no spend. 
It’s an, only spend it you totally have to, month 

Meat frozen in the fridges, and veggies from
The garden will keep us going for a while before we have to buy 
Anything for  dinner 

This is a good way to make up all the money spent during Christmas 
And New Years. 
I used to do it every year when I had little children and it’s 
A habit that just won’t go away. 
Not that it’s a bad thing

  1. It's a fantastic idea!! No spend January. Brilliant. I'm sure I could get through most of the month using what's in the house. Other half would scream I'm anguish. We've got a freezer with meat and fish, packets of beans and lentils, frozen pureed tomato. Oh that I could

  2. No flour is an emergency situation!
