\"Empty

It’s time for a BRAND NEW Empty the Storecupboard Challenge! Last year’s challenge<\/a><\/strong> went very well, and I managed to cut both my grocery bills and our household food waste.<\/p>\n

Now we have another two shelves full of food that needs to be eaten. It’s a mixture of older food stores, stuff that’s just about to go off, tail ends of things, overstocks (someone in this house can’t resist a special offer), free gifts, presents, free samples and Christmas leftovers. It builds up quicker than I thought!<\/p>\n

How the Empty the Storecupboard Challenge works<\/h1>\n

You make a list<\/strong> of the food stocks that you need to use up, and make at least three meals a week from them<\/strong> until the food is gone. Ideally, these meals should be thrifty, varied and tasty as possible. This time around I’m also going to try to make at least two thirds of them healthy as well.<\/p>\n

There’s a surprising amount to get though this time around:<\/p>\n
