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.
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
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
ReplyDeleteIt’s hard when others want special food.
Delete"Waste not, want not."
ReplyDeleteExactly. And less rubbish goes to land fill
DeleteNo flour is an emergency situation!
ReplyDeleteYup. I’m definitely going to buy more. It’s a staple
DeleteYou could get creative with rice, pasta and potatoes. I have a recipe for spaghetti cake that is remarkably good (surprisingly) - or just do without cake for two weeks🤐
ReplyDeleteBy the end of the month I get very creative.
DeleteI’ve got the cheap cake mixes that I use for dump cake.
If I want cake I add stuff to it to make it more home made
What is the 100 cookie recipe? Sounds like something I need in my freezer!
ReplyDeleteI am suprised you don't grow your own wheat and thresh it :)
