Wow! Sylvia, I am impressed and also feeling rather ashamed of myself for the wastage in our house.

I too know what it is to go without in my childhood but reading your post has made me feel I should do more to stop the wastage and to remember what it was to be creative with the little that was in the cupboards....the sense of pride that came with making something from practically nothing.....I am sure my life was more fulfilling in those days.

I'm not a paragon!


and we do waste food sometimes.


we happen to like roasts, and we like cold roast meat ......... so to get 3 meals out of 1 piece of meat just makes sense to us.


I also don't like cooking that much!

So one big shepherds pie, fish pie, or stew, freezing the excess portions, is more to my liking than several smaller ones cooked separately! Much less effort. :-)


hope you are well.

Well you are more of a paragon than me, I am getting far too lazy :-D....

Mind you, I have been saving on food these last two days because all I have eaten is cheese on toast....don't ask .....and no I am not pregnant :-D

I remember home economics....My mother had already taught me more than the teachers ever could.......My goodness...the children today know nothing. ....nope...don't start me on that topic....off to get a cuppa :-D

A good cheap meal is beans on toast made with wholegrain bread is supposed to give you all the same nutrition as a steak,

according to a food program i saw last week,
