Hi,

Just thought I would add mine here to, it may help keep me on track! lol

Sat: Macaroni cheese

Sun: Roast Chicken Sunday lunch.

Mon: Jacket spuds, cheese & beans with bacon pieces.

Tues: Cottage pie with roasted carrots and brocolli on the side.

Weds: Homemade Chicken pie using Sunday roast leftover chicken with beans and Oven chips! ( cant wait for this! LOL)

Thurs: Mince ( From Tues Cottage Pie) Served over a big yorkshire pud, with Spuds and broccoli.

Fri: Sausages, Oven chips and beans. ( We LOVE beans in this house! But managing to cut down! lol)

Sat: Will be a concoction of some sort, as we are trying to go food shopping one day later every week, so wont be due to shop til Sunday!

Throughout the week I will be making crumbles, cobblers, lemon drizzle cake and may try and make some carrot cake! Eeek!

We have never eaten so well! And yet it all works out cheaper then when we were just buying easy convenience food!

Meal plan in before Monday Yay! Am really trying to not go over budget this month, so am using lots of bits from the freezer and store cupboard so hopefully my shop should come in at around £20. Fingers crossed!

Monday - Shepherds Pie and Veg using mince in a tomato sauce thats in the freezer.
Tuesday - Slow cooker chicken thigh curry and rice
Wednesday - Spag Bol using more freezer mince
Thursday - HM Creamy chicken soup and crusty bread
Friday - Haddock in a creamy sauce, new poatoes and veg
Saturday - Tomato Pasta and garlic bread
Sunday - Slow cooker cassarole using whoopsied casserole steak in the freezer.

Should just need to get chicken thighs and veg and odd bits for lunches in this week hopefully!

Moonbabe, your creamy chicken soup sounds delish....could you possibly share the recipe?

Thanks xx

Haven't made it before, its my job for tonight made stock from the chicken carcase from last nights roast dinner and am planning to follow this recipe - http://www.ivillage.co.uk/food/tools/recipefinder/display_recipe/0,,6489,00.html

Claims to be like the Heinx soup variety, which is OH favourite, so hopefully he will like it and we can stop spending a fortune on tins!

Thats basically how I do it - but no rosemary and basic double cream it is delicious.

Reduced price choritzo as its sell by was today.
Leftover chicken from yesterdays roast.
Stock from the carcass of yesterdays chicken.
Seafood that been in the freezer for a few weeks.

We thought we'd treat ourselves to pizza from our favourite takeaway. Trouble is, it's new owners, they took aaages, got lost, OH had to rescue them and IT'S RUBBISH! Boo, so not only a rubbish tea, but not moneysaving at all. Gutted
