2026 - Freecycle & similar FREE stuff

IN today an enormous bag of tinned food - all in date too!
Tuna x 12 tins, Red salmon x 1, Sweetcorn x 6, Red beans x 8, tomatoes x 6, baked beans x 2, tomato soup x 1 and Chicken in cream sauce x 1.

I foresee Tuna and sweetcorn sandwiches, and red beans cooked in tomatoes on the menu soon.

IN yesterday - a 4 slice electric toaster to replace mine which has stopped toasting in two of the slots. Took up too much space to justify its existence. No point trying to give it away when its only half working! I'll take it for recycling.

IN today from a regular . Frozen food - Five packs of salmon, 3 with sweet chilli and 2 with a herb dressing; streaky bacon, chips and potato croquettes, and some yogurts, individual cakes and popcorn.
Also IN, a box of part used notepads. You know the sort (well, I do!) where you have a good idea, write a few pages than change your mind or forget about it completely. A few pages ripped out of most of the notepads so I can't tell what their previous use was!

Went to the £5 Pantry today. Spent £10 on Food and £5 on Flower bulbs. Also collected two square flower buckets, a few MFBs and a stack of small flower pots.
Food wise, I had potatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, an avocado, a carrier bag of loose, very sweet black grapes, bananas, an orange and 2 limes, basil, 2 tins of tuna, 6 eggs, KFC, organic beef mince, stuffed potato skins, a tetrapak of gazpacho soup, pot noodle, crisps, Ceylon Tea, Irnbru, bottled water, pineapple juice, Custard doughnuts, various loaves. Plus 4 bars of soap and 2 deodorants.

Yesterday - lots of yogurt, rice puddings, crisps and a lettuce! Also some wool insulation for my pots.

Not free but very cheap. I bought four quarter pounder beef burgers from Morries freezer  dept, reduced frpm £3.79  to £1.00. Once I had been through checkout amd  seen that price was right, I went back into shop and bought another five packs.  Can't go wrong as a pound of mince, which I usually turn into four burgers is a lot more exppensive than £1.00.

Another cupboard clearout! Five tins of sliced mushrooms, several jars of curry and pasta sauces, mayo, mint sauce, tartare, pork flavoured stuffing mix (vegan!), bag of flour, biscuits, doritos, chocolate puddings, angel delight.
