Hi
Been trying to start doing meal lists and shopping for essentials but have now found that
a) I have fussy kids who sulk that "I don't like that" and although I have tried to get them involved in working out the meals it still isn't working
b) We always seem to end up with the same meals (probably no imagination)
c) Because I only want to buy what we need I've not been "proper" shopping for ages so am spending a fortune at the local shop and by cupboards are now bare!
I'm avidly reading through the posts but find (and no critisism here at all) that you are all well read, up to speed with all these tips and ideas.
That said I'd like to start 2 threads - this one for meal ideas, including what to take to work/school as really am getting sick of ham sandwiches now and I'll also start one for store cupboard basics which I should really be stocking up on which is here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=16738003#post16738003
Hopefully this will not only help me but any other new or struggling MSE OSers!
Thanks for all your suggestions! :beer:

Hi jesdan,
For meal ideas these threads should help:
The Complete Menu Plans Collection
Recipe Collection Thread (recipe board)
and these threads should give you some ideas for lunches:
Lunch for work (merged threads)
back to school packed lunch os ideas?
There is also a meal planning thread which starts weekly on the board that might give you some inspiration. Here's this week's:
MealPlans WB 11th December 2008
