I didn't see one for June so don't know if anyone is interested in keeping this going for July even tho it's been a long standing one.
I'm working on using up the older freezer and pantry items so I can restock with new expiration dates.

Niko, it was continued in June, just added to the May thread.
Thank you, went back and looked and I'd even posted in it...ugh...now don't know whether to post July here or in the other one...not being labeled June threw me off...double ugh!

Tonight...rest of spaghetti sauce in fridge along with
1 ziplock hamburger
1 jar spaghetti sauce partially empty
1 new jar sauce...all mixed together...now have a BIGGER container of spaghetti sauce in fridge. But done for another night
1 partial box noodles
1 full box noodles
rest of pkg garlic bread from fridge

Made some headway.
Last 2 days I've used...
last of container of reg coffee
last of container of decaf
2 frozen meals

Yesterday for supper I fixed MORE spaghetti. Luckily they asked for it so win win. So 1 leftover container of sauce used out of fridge and while digging found another with a small amount so dumped it in too. NOW I have THAT sauce back in fridge but only 1 small container.

Used almost a whole box of spaghetti noodles, not quite.
Half box of garlic bread.
Also found in fridge a container with about a cup or so of black bean chili so heated it up over some Tostitos with some shredded cheese. I had that. Really good.

Also 2 cans chicken that hubby found and made chicken salad.

So 2 containers out of fridge and working down on that large stockpile of spaghetti sauce and noodles so I can replace with new dates.
