I' be delighted to - but I'd find it easier to do this once all meals and their order have been confirmed, as I expect not all fruit and veg and stuff will be needed in each and every week. Do you think it should be one large shop (all the non-perishables and the first week's fresh stuff), followed by top-up shops for all the fresh stuff, or four equalish weekly shops ?

thank you Will pass on the info as soon as I have invented it I think weekly evenly, because some folk get paid weekly and maybe it will help with storage too? I'm trying to learn from everyone's feedback so far, and it would save mouldy food and masses of boxes hanging around!

I'm a real stockpiler, but of course not everyone is I get a new bag of bread flour when I'm down to 3 left

Oh blow, that reminds me I haven't looked at our sunday lunch yet!

Aless posted a method earlier to her stuffing recipe, so let's go with that one, plus allegra's onion gravy and poohbear's bubble and squeak. And a very thrifty 50g per person of the poached chicken. There are other side veggies too, I'll just consult the spreadsheet. I may be a while as excel has been crashing a bit today our planner is too clever for my PC

Hi Weezl,

Just been having a look on the asda website, as before I checked for you into the stock cubes when planner 3 was going to be from tesco. The asda own brand vegetable ones are not vegan, but of course as this is vegan by default, nothing to stop you using them, if you just give options for anyone avoiding milk like me and frugalmumof4. Other alternatives that are vegan as below. I use the kallo organic low salt ones and they are good. Personally I prefer a stock cube where the first ingredient is salt!

Kallo Organic vegetable stock cubes low salt 57p (86.4p per 100g)vegan Knorr Vegetable stock cubes 99p (£1.24 per 100g)vegan
ASDA Vegetable stock cubes 71p (59.2p per 100g)vegetarian, contain dairy
There is a couple more vegan ones listed, but they are more expensive. Of course you are probably going thiking along the lines of making your own from vegetable peelings!

Not that you asked for this info, thinking ahead really, hope this helps.

We also like to stock up on food and especially toilet rolls. DH gets panicky if we have less than 50 rolls in.
