Just went and did some grocery shopping and I was putting everything away. I went to the freezer because I put all my meat in the freezer and had to take everything out to fill it all back in again. I was putting them back and I realised I have way too much meat. It’s ridiculous. Someone tell me I’m not alone!! I have.

400g Diced stewing beef x4
500g Beef Mince x2
300g pack of Beef stirfry
500g Pork mince
350g Pack of diced chicken x2
16 sausages
Pack of 4 Basted pork chops x2
Basted pork chops x2
Bacon chops
750 g chicken breast x2
Four cod fillets
250g King prawns
Two beef burgers

and that’s only the meat 😬

Anyone else do this? 😂😂 I have to stop!

Is that all for you or for a family of 4? Context matters here 😆

Yes, I’ve done this before, and completely overstocked on tins of tuna once (think double figures).

Why don’t you write a list of everything you have in the freezer, and meal plan solely from that for the next few weeks? I do this before emptying the freezer prior to defrosting it. Lots of stews, spaghetti Bol, shepherds pie etc!

I’m definitely going to have to do this!
