You are looking especially beautiful today! This is a great reminder to use what we have as well as plan what to put in its place (soups, stews, freezer meals, etc.) Always a delight to see you my friend! As always LOVE & BIG HUGS!!!

Hi stacey, , , , enjoyed trying using things up over October. We had done a big shop at the end of September decided we would have a go at only shopping if we had to. Bread milk and veges were on the shopping list and we only bought what we needed. In total we spent $371.38 . That included when we bought lunch out a few times when we had to go out and we had take away a couple of times. Groceries came to 250.00 I'm quite happy with that and will certainly try again some take care... Jeanne

Perfect timing - I need to rotate my pantry/fridges before I refill it this 🇦🇺 Spring/Summer.... 😂

My freezer has 600gm chicken and 1/2 pack puff pantry sheets, and 2 weeks of dog meals.
Empty nesters trying a week at a time meal planning ❤

My partner retired 2 weeks ago after 40 years working for Waikato Health Board; as he and i both worked afternoon shifts and i batch cooked to make our work dinners, now we are organising a new way of doing things.

I started using your meal plans and inventories during the last 12 months and had already begun running the freezer stocks down and sorting the pantry.

Both he and I are looking forward to some new kitchen adventures!

I am so excited to go on this journey. I want to make sure I am using up everything I bring into the house. Thank you for your guidance 😊

Excellent timing- I need to empty and defrost my freezer before Christmas. Then I can start filling it up again with the chocolate brownies I make as presents for friends, and some winter stews for me. I'll be looking back at some of your recipes too. Such good ideas-thank you.

Hello lovely lady, I haven't been on YouTube lately, lots of family things going on, soooo happy to see your Chanel growing ❤

[allysmum]

Thanks Stacey. Perfect timing for us we are moving in about a month so need to clean out freezer and pantry. I love your authentic videos and knowledge. Learning so much in your gentle way.

Hi, Stacey and Trix! It's all in the planning. I look forward to Use it up in October and seeing what you come up with. Love from Pukekohe❤❤❤

[MichelleDavis-np]

Wow! These are some great ideas!! Thank you again ❤I’ve been doing this (using pantry items up) the last couple weeks and going through all spices etc also to get a better idea of what I’m using now (cuz tastes change and reality hits).
I bought grapeseed oil to try it for the “special potatoes “. These are an absolute hit with everyone and I’m switching from avacado oil because we like grapeseed oil better. Thank you ❤regular food for regular folks. ❤

Hello Stacey, Personally, I never have a build up in my freezer, Don't think it's a good idea to have food sitting there and cluttering the freezer for such a long period of time. Hope you are able to have a good clean out and look forward to your meals.

[Chellascommoncents]

I can’t wait! I am so excited to do this with you!

[catherinelarsen]

I already do most of this however have been slack and need to get back into it. Thanks for the motivation. Also need to empty the freezer by half so that when the summer produce starts flowing in next year we have the space for it. Holidays are definitely going to help me plan. Also going to do a lot of baking over the next two weeks as my life is going to be more than hectic till Dec with cricket, school, work etc so doing a little prep now is going to save me a lot of stress later

[Sacredsimplicitylife]

Perfect timing today as I am writing out my weekly menu. Thank you for this motivation, looking forward to new frugal recipe ideas. Now that it is spring here I like to change out my meals from heavy winter ones and try some new recipes.

[terioesterle]

Your timing for this series is perfect for me. Right after I watched the last one, I emptied my freezer to sort it out. I couldn’t believe how much stuff was burned in there. I think inventoring it right would be overwhelming but I am using something from it everyday and only buying milk, maybe adding something if I need it for a recipe. I’m hoping to get to the point I can inventory. This month my main goal is to make room for cranberries. Last year I canned them and it has been so handy but there has been times I wanted some frozen and the season is so short.

[fionaward]

This will be great. I got enthused after last weeks video and have already used up a couple of (old) things from freezer and pantry!! Hoping to get into my freezers this week and get all the older stuff in one place to use up first

[marias]

i'm tempted to try this too. i've seen other youtubers do this but, for some reason, I'm convinced to do it more from you
