How much food to you keep in the house?

oh johanna that is funny!! Why could you not both have gone throug as 2 separate customers??

My husband who is fantastic and i love dearly is sooo iritating he too buys all the offers, with blissful disregard of if we actually want or even like the stuff!!
it causes friction I must admit!
Then he wanders off, and I must admit last year I put notice out for him in Asda, he was fuming!!

He still does it, I am left wandering the aisles wondering where he has gone this time!! Love him to bits but was more peaceful shopping pre retirment, he does spoil me tho as says go andread paper in car while he offloads it all in trolley bless him.

That will teach me to feel well-prepared for anything. Mice in the 10 kg flour bags - Aaaaaaahrgh!

I find I have far less in the fridge since my colitis diet. I think it's mainly due to NOT getting all the offers!

On the other hand the freezer is a bit full as I get bored with meals I have to have twice - because of difficulty in getting amounts for one - and I freeze the second helpiing.....and then forget about it.

DS2 has the 'bargain bug'. He's not safe to let out on his own in Sainsbury's. Not only that, but he's always up bright and early the day the Next sale starts and comes back with loads of boys' clothes as well as bits and pieces for himself and partner. He has NOT inherited this gene from me.

Mice seem to be nibbling their way through a number of our threads at the moment.

They certainly nibbled through three of the flour bags! The last invasion from the roof to the walk-in wardrobe meant a huge clear out, now have to do the same in the utility room cum bakery. The problem is that the top floor of the house used to be a grain store and dried grain still falls through the cracks, attracts the mice and looks just like mouse droppings so you can't always tell.
What amazes me is how loud the sound of clog dancing is in the roof, though.
