Can I be cheeky and ask for your menu plan?

hi sorry I am still lost how do you make enough meals (what do you make) from that list that will last for a whole month

I have started to do all my shopping at Iceland now, after a friend told me about their Aloe Vera washing powder for 99p - its brilliant. Although I am not too good at meal planning beyond one day

, do you think it is possible to do the same for Iceland BS as it would help me heaps now that the school holidays are upon us.

Oh sorry, I was searching for 'Iceland' posts and came across your one that said you did all your shopping there. I just assumed you maybe had done a similar shopping list for there too.

I have but it was a while ago. I have done the last 2 batches of shopping online at Tesco so that means I havn't stepped foot in Iceland for about 8 weeks but I will probably do the next one with Iceland.

cant see how you can possibly make that last a month bs! one loaf of bread? and if youre looking to do as much as possible for as little as possible, why not have value ice cream and dress it up with something out of the cupboard? and why not make your own profiteroles, cheaper, and fun for the little ones to do. 88p for 4 potatoes? why not buy a big bag for a quid? four steak portions for £6 or more? i got 12 for £4.40 the other day. sorry, i just cant see it.
