Used up some frozen chicken from the fridge freezer. Getting those packs of frozen cooked meat cleared out.

I used up the last of a bottle of canola oil and pulled the spare out of the pantry. I need to start a running list of what needs to be replaced or I will forget about it. May put a list on the fridge that we can add to.

Today I hope to use up some apple pie filling and some phyllo pastry and make a dessert for next week.

Did not get at the apple pie filling or phyllo pastry, perhaps this week.

So far I in this short week I have used up the bread machine yeast and opened my last jar. This needs putting on the list for my next shopping trip.

Used up the last roast of beef in the freezer (also going on the shopping list), and the pail of potatoes I brought upstairs about a week ago.

So I have used up a box of crackers, some cream of mushroom soup, many a bag of frozen leftovers from roast meals, and a few other odds and ends from pantry, fridge and freezer.

There are a few items in the freezer that will need to be used. I am thinking about making some wraps for supper one night, and using some tortillas to make some chips. Those items have been in my freezer for a bit now and need gone.

I worked late today and needed a fast dinner so used a can of tomato soup from the stash and the last 8 saltine crackers in a package.

My goodness, so many pantry use ups that there is no way I will remember them all.

Yesterday I used up the last of the dish soap and will be using the last of the large refill bottle to fill it back up. While not strictly a food item from the pantry, it is something I keep stocked in the cleaning supply cupboard.

I used up the last small bag of chopped walnuts in the Oh Henry Bars, and more margarine (I use margarine instead of butter where I can in my baking).

Used up a jar of bread machine yeast.

Today I will use up a bag of frozen ham, some penne pasta, and grated cheese (not sure what veggie I will put in the casserole, leaning towards the last of the broccoli).

I used up the last of an open bag of quinoa-grains mix making my lunches last night, along with the last of an open box of beef broth powder.
