Meal plan WC 20th July- School holidays

It's that time again, school holidays :eek::rotfl:
Here is our plan to get through the first week without doing an impression of old mother Hubbard.

Sunday- Piri piri half chicken with hm vegetable fried rice
Monday- Corned beef pie with chips and peas
Tuesday- Sausage carbonara
Wednesday- Chicken curry and turmeric rice with HF prawn crackers
Thursday- LO stirfry with spring rolls and samasos
Friday-HM pizza and garlic and cheese dough balls
Saturday- Piri piri chicken with jacket potatoes and salad

Lunches will be HM quiches, HM bacon and cheese pasty squares and egg mayo sarnies. I'll also make a spicy chicken and rice soup with the carcasses from the chickens. I might make some cheese and onion pasties if I make too much mash for the corned beef pie.
Snacks will be crisps, biscuits and dry fruit with hm yoghurt. I also have some pate to go on crackers.

I'll need to buy more squash as it just evaporates while the kids are off. I need salad and fruit as well but I hope to get through until Thursday on less than £12 spend.

What are you all having this week? :)
£36/£240

    I've gone through the cupboards / fridge / freezer today and made an inventory of what we have in stock as I would like to spend as little as possible next week. So far the shopping list is looking pleasing :)

    Our meal plan is looking like this:

    Su: gammon, roast potatoes, mash potatoes, savoury pasta, carrots, cheesy leeks, yorkshire puddings, gravy.
    Mo: pasta bake (using the rest of the gammon), garlic bread
    Tu: spicy chicken niblets, noodles or baked beans

    Haven't made these before but they look lovely :)

    We: beef stew and dumplings with cheesy mashed potatoes
    Th: mini steak pies with baked beans and oven chips
    Fr: chip shop
    Sa: pizza night

    Shopping list:

    Oven chips
    Mozzarella
    Cheese
    Pepperoni
    Sweetcorn
    Salad stuff


    The main ingredients are for Saturday's pizza so I'm quite pleased with that :)
