Visitors covered,Maggie Beer pate, from freezer,roast beef from freezer, Potato and celeriac gratin, silver beet from garden, carrots. For Pud ,Queen of Pud.Plenty of wine available for those who drink and soda water for those who don't. Cantucci to have with coffee. Made bread sticks.

My total for the week was $106.70, which included an extra trip to the shops thursday to buy extra bits to cook for 6 people instead of 3.

Who cooks for 6 & what is your budget? For a while I will be cooking for 4 adults & my ds & a teenager.

11 tins used, yay but still have a few tinned curry tins. Down to one packet of spaghetti

still have lots of other types of pasta.

Will be doing my meal plan today for next week.

After a $0 week last week, I was happy with a $60.31 spend this week.

Halex · « **Reply #1280 on:** August 11, 2012, 05:53:00 am »

Ok my new budget while I am cooking for my friend & family is $150. I think this is reasonabe, I am doing main meals & lunches. I didnt want to make it too high as I ddnt want to get back to old habits.

I think that is very reasonable Hally. If you go over you go over. It's a lovely thing you are doing for your friend.

Well this week I spent $79.06c. Which brings my average to $100.93.

Very Happy

Avoided the supermarket but bought $5 tomatoes at farmers market. Like Gert, saving my money for Grace town. Very pleased.

I spent $120 yesterday, but that was lollies for party stuff too. have just bought a quarter of a beef for $400, so that is cheap.

Not shopping at all tomorrow.

Hi not sure where to ask this question, so I'll start here. pre TMX I stocked up on lots of tinned soup,some concentrate some just heat and pour, now we only eat home made. any ideas on how I may use up these tins of soup??

Jadey · « **Reply #1285 on:** August 11, 2012, 03:12:03 pm »

Greyhound mum - you could use chicken based ones in chicken pies? Otherwise no idea, never eaten canned soup really. Hopefully someone more skilled than me has a better answer.

GHM, a lot of American recipes call for canned soups. How about listing what your cans of soup are and see if anyone has a recipe to suit. I have used them in the past but it's something you soon change once you are a TMX owner.

achookwoman · « **Reply #1287 on:** August 11, 2012, 09:46:55 pm »

Lots of the 3 and4 ingredient recipes use canned soup. Mostly chicken, mushroom and tomato.

Halex · « **Reply #1288 on:** August 11, 2012, 10:25:58 pm »

Theres an app called big oven, lots of recipes on there used canned soup. I havent made any recioes from the app because each recipe I have been interested in requires canned soup!!LOL
