Hi all. I am within my grocery budget for the month but I have decided I am going to try and have a 'whatever's in' week this week apart from some fresh fruit from the market tomorrow and then the remainder of my grocery budget can go in my savings pot.
Sunday: Grilled bacon & scrambled egg for breakfast, Pork & Mushroom casserole, mash and veg for dinner, fruit salad supper
Monday: HM Spag Bol (big batch in slow cooker, will use rest as meat sauce in lasagne)
Tuesday: HM Toad in the hole with mash & veg from freezer
Wednesday: HM Lasagne & jackets
Thursday: HM Tuna pasta bake
Friday: Kids at birthday party, jacket & beans for me
Saturday: Toasties for lunch, at friend's for tea
Breakfasts will be cereals and there are various tins of rice pudding, custard and packs of angel delight if we fancy dessert and snacks of fresh fruit. Lunches sandwiches, ham, egg or tuna on HM bread.Debt busting! Jan 2014 £7632.50 £7445.80

I found life so much simpler after doing my first meal plan last week. In fact about half way through the week, I remembered that I used to do this about 20yrs ago and it worked well then - so why did I stop

So, here goes for this week:
Weekday breakfasts will be cereal, toast or yogurt. Cooked brunch on Sunday.
Lunches dh takes packs, dd has lunch at school (no matter how hard I try, she refuses to take packs even though all 3 of her sisters did) I have soup or leftovers.
Dinners:Monday - Hm Soup with rolls. Rtc apple pie + custard
Tuesday - Rtc chicken & mushroom pies (from freezer) veg with hm mushroom sauce and tattie wedges
Wed - Fritatta
Thurs - Hm Roast beef (from feezer) tatties and veg with yorkies
Friday - Sausage casserole or sausage pasta bake
Sat - Cous cous stuffed peppers
Sunday - Trout with cous cous and veg or savoury rice + Hm Trifle
I think that's it for this week.Official DFW Nerd Club - Member # 593 - Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts!0 -
