Weezl's phase 1- recipe testing and frugalisation- come one, come all!

Ok, Having seen the shopping list, I'm now not sure how to sort it out for a faimly of 6. I was just going to buy 1.5 times the amounts but it doesn't seem to be that clear cut.
Any ideas???

:think:Hmmm..yes I was going to halve things but not sure what to do now. Can you tell that I am doing boring job applications by how quickly I am replying? :rotfl::A

FrankieM

artybear Did you say you lived in the Midlands?

artybear

Yes when I am at home yesXX

FrankieM

I'm in Staffordshire. Is that millions of miles from you?
I was wondering if I bought double and then perhaps we could meet up and I could give you a half portion?
What do you think?

artybear

I think that is a good plan in theory but I dont drive so wont have access to a car till Mr artybear comes back.

My geography is rubbish so not sure how close we are- I am on the outskirts of Coventry

we were getting a kilo for £4.95.

it's nearly a price match, and may require less as it's seriously strong rather than just mature...

what do people think? xx It's just a 5p difference to budget, if you don't count the leftover quid's worth against me!

Sounds good to me. I will have a look at Tesco mature value too as I can get someone to pick me some up if needed.

Whenever I order from Asda they send me 100g cheddar instead of 1kg. I think the packer presumes I have made a mistake:D

I hoped you would be okay if I move meals around a bit, at least to start with. Looking at the plan I thought I might start them off gently, if you know what I mean:o

artybear has just made me realise I could make the meals as per plan and then make something a little bit different for DH for the time being. There are 5 adults here until after Easter hols.

Googlemaps suggests 45 miles and 58 mins?

FrankieM

poohbear Is there an actual day-to-day plan somewhere?

As there are 5 of us I was planning on ordering the same amount of most ingredients. Mine are all adult too. To be honest I was thinking of adding extra pasta, rice, potatoes, maybe I am too mean.
