Not many use it ups since the last time I posted.

I have however used up two small skeins of yarn. Hopefully more gone by the end of the week.

I am in this month. So far I used up the rest of a jar of mayo, a pie crust, the remainder of a bag of grated cheese and 4 eggs making DH favorite quiche. It is enough for 3 meals. On the same day I used a pie crust (pie crusts are now used up), half a bag of coconut and the last 2 eggs from a carton to make a coconut pie. Also, finished a can of cranberry sauce that really needed finishing. Last week I used the last jar of mushrooms (need more) and a can of spaghetti sauce (still have one). Oh, I forgot, cooked a package of bacon and used half in the above quiche.

Last weekend I brought 4 packages of cookies I had at the house (bought on sale within the last several months) for a cookie tree at my MIL's 90th birthday party. Down to only 1 package of store bought cookies - but, I think we will survive. Also, brought an open package of paper plates for back-up for dessert and they were used. Progress, progress - thanks for the inspiration.

Oops, forgot I used the last of the onions in the quiche. Now I am out of onions. Unfortunately, I lost 1 of the 6 onions in the package to rot.
