    Good job, Paula! I should think that even if the coleslaw was not spoiled, the cabbage and dressing would render too much liquid. Also, I think the cabbage would be mushy. Nice meals planned and well done using what you are blessed with. Take care and big smiles to you.

      Aw, thank you! 😊 Yes, although the coleslaw smelt okay, it had separated and gone really orange, so sadly, it ended up in the bin. Lesson's learnt! And to you! 😃

    I say. ;) You're doing great! I've been doing the same thing in the USA. I'm making quite a dent in the stuff that needs used up.

      Thank you 🙏 It's such a good thing to get on board with! Not only for the saving money aspect but also for reducing the amount of waste! Sadly, a few things have slipped through the net this week 😕 but I suppose at least I'm learning what I shouldn't buy again 😁 Are you doing this for the whole of January?

      @@Withinabudget I'm doing it for as long as it takes to empty my pantry. I've got a lot of stuff to use up.

    Use tired vegetables in the slow cooker to make a soup with suet dumplings on top😊
    The jelly and dessert mix should be fine.
    Bean sprouts do not keep well and my one attempt to freeze coleslaw was a total failure.
    Nice menu ✔️

      Nice idea with the dumplings in the soup! I've never tried that before. We've had the jelly so far, and it was absolutely fine 👍 I'm with you on that one, the coleslaw did not defrost well at all and sadly ended up in the bin! We try, and we learn. Thank you 😊

    Oh Paula you are so brave! I’d be petrified with the coleslaw and things that amount of time out of date😳😂I’m terrible and I understand how wasteful that is but “if in doubt chuck it out” is my motto! The fear is real after a bout of severe food poisoning a couple of years back🤮! Do you not get bored and just feel like going out and getting something nice? 12:41

    • @Withinabudget
      @Withinabudget  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I wasn't that brave! 🫢 Spoiler alert for Mondays meals of the week, but unfortunately, the coleslaw did not make the cut! 😉 It didn't look right at all once it was fully defrosted! Needless to say, I won't be freezing it again.
      Oh no, poor you! I think if you have had something that's made you that ill, it makes you think twice for sure.
      We normally like a good takeaway, but with doing the January pantry challenge, it doesn't really fit at the moment. I enjoy cooking so it doesn't bother me, and the past few times that we went out to a restaurant, we ended up feeling slightly disappointed as the food has not been that good. Because the children are teenagers, it's all adults' meals, so for us to go out, it's normally £100 at least. I guess we're more for experiences as we'd sooner spend that going bowling or a family day out. We went clay shooting the other weekend, which was so much fun! 😁 Sorry my reply got a little long! 🤣

    Good video. Victoria foulger on you tube I did her bean & lentil chilli, very nice. To be honest I really didbt miss the meat, didn't think my husband would like it as he likes meat, but he did. I've also made her butternut squash & spinach lasagne as well which is so tasty. I try to do us a meat free day once a week if I can. Soup is a really good 1 to do as meat free, homemade French onion soup is delicious, as is leek & potato, mushroom, anything you have really. I'm sure the pasta & white sauce is fine, it's common sense if it looks & smells OK its fine. But I've never frozen coleslaw before but if it looks iffy chuck it!!

      Thank you! I'll have a look for that recipe, although im not sure if I have lentils 🤔 We had a lentil curry once, and they were surprisingly filling 👍 The butternut squash and spinach lasagne sounds amazing! Having a meatless night every week may be the way to go 😊
      The coleslaw definitely looked iffy, sadly it went in the bin.
