This is a good site that lets you feed a family of 4 for £100 a month if you like what Sainsburys have done with their 5 day weeks!

It has both veggie and meat options and a shopping list for the month based on the plan you choose.

Very MSE and yummy recipes!

I like the idea too and I like the shopping list - this makes it easy to cross off what you already have, ie herbs, chillies, onions.

I had dismissed the pasta with spinach meal as I never use all the spinach if I buy it fresh, but have noticed this is frozen so may well give it a go now!

I can shop for the whole week for 3 meals a day for £25. If I tried it could be for even less.

SainsburyMealPlanner,

Will you be doing a meal planner for individuals or couples? Not everyone has kiddies I had a brief glance at it and it seems like a good idea for a family. I assume that all the ingredients on the list are used for the 5 meals (ie all 12 eggs are used; not 3-4 and rest surplus to requirements).

Ie. For one person, 6 meals for £6?!



Cheers

I've been following this for the last few weeks for 2 of us, so I'm using the extra portions to fill the freezer and have work lunches.

Some of the portion sizes are huge though so you can easily get 6 out of some of the recipies. They have all been good so far though and all include at least 1 or 2 or my 5 a day.

My challenge now is to reduce the rest of my shop - I'm still spending £50 for the 2 of us. I expected it to go down using this plan so a little confused!

Hi everyone

Just so you know, we've given Sainsburys company representative status and they may be posting on here in future to answer questions about the meal planner.
