It all looks very organised. I just don't know if I would stick to it. How do you know what you will fancy in 30 days time?

I know what you mean with the "do I fancy that in 29 days?" bit, but at the same time, there is quite some variety in there - also with the same ingredients, I can probably make something else and my biggest motivation, I want to reduce my shopping bill!

Thankfully my husband is not very fussy and will just eat what's there, and I think I'll be fine, all of the stuff on the list is sort of favourites.

Will tell you how we go!
