From the original first post of the previous thread:

Sandwich fillings (have one pack of ham in the freezer) as these things I eat virtually every day Until one of the following happens . I ran out of food . I have only fish fingers and cornflakes left. It will be a challenge as I'm on weight watchers so I have to be extra creative to keep my points down.

Best answers:

• I have had a good week.
  I have managed to use a lot of ingredients from my cupboards and freezer and things are looking really good. My pasta mountain has come down from 20 packages to 4 packages, I am beginning to see a large dent in my freezer and my food bill has reduced dramatically.
  IN today - 5 portions of HM pasta tuna bake for hubby's lunch
  OUT today - mince for pasta and meatballs in tomato sauce
  NSD -
• I need to clear space in my freezer as I buy home grown meat off my mum (pork, bacon, gamon, beef and lamb) and as she lives 4 hours away she has been storing it in her freezer but i have been told in no uncertain term that I need to take at least half back when I next visit next month. So thanks for starting this as the motivation will help me achieve my goal and save money.
• Successful weekend, lots out the freezer and nothing in! Nearly got 1 drawer clear, can't physically open the bottom drawer.... not sure what to do there.
  Out today - 2 x scotch pies which the dog had for breakfast.
  Need to meal plan for this week, so will create more space too.
• Where has kirri gotten too?
• Nothing in again today and I have just pulled out some lamb mince for tomorrow.
• I put some mince in the freezer, that I won't get to use before it's use by date.
  Will be taking something out for dinner, but what this is, I just don't know yet!
• Nothing in again today, this is going well
  cheese buns came out to go with chilli for dinner. I even had a nsd
• Quorn fillets out and chilli in. Won't be much more movement this week I don't think
• Kirri, I think it took about 3 weeks. I tend to read while led in bed and cant sleep lol.
  Out of the freezer sausages for toad in the hole, low fat sausages and yorkshire pudding as theyre lower fat too.
  had to nip out to mr T and buy donuts as we are painting too, needed sugar rush
• Bought 2 packs of Sainsbury's Taste The Difference diced wild venison for Ј7 last week and OH fished one out of the freezer already so we had venison curry for dinner tonight Very tasty and only one gristly bit in the whole pack.
  ASDA used to do great venison burgers but my local store doesn't stock them now
  A guy turned up to deliver a fridge at my front door today. He looked rather embarrassed when he realised he had entirely the wrong road
  Hope you're all well and stashing Christmas stuff in the freezer !
• Hey Edwardia.
  Kirri yes I did, they said that they were sending a sae to me so I could send the product back, not sure how that will go, it is partially cooked, Now in a sealed bag, it will soon rot lol. Not had the envelope yet.
• It seems really strange to have been moved across to a new thread, must remember to save the search as I pull out or I may disappear, never to be seen again.
