We spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!

Hi all,
Need a really thrifty week as it is our 'end of month' week (DH gets paid on Fri - woo hoo!), luckily I have some meat in the freezer from a trip to Costco and a couple of other bits and bobs floating around so.........
SAT: Curry at my parents, we will supply pud, probably Indian ice-
cream from Lidl.
SUN: HM Steak and mushroom pie with mash and peas, probably a
fruit crumble of some sort.
MON: Lunchbox: HM Pizza swirls with salad
Dinner: Cauli, mac 'n' cheese (Jamie recipe)
TUE: Lunchbox: HM Sausage Roll with salad
Dinner: Chilli (from freezer) with wedges
WED: Lunchbox: HM Leek & potato soup & HM bread
Dinner: Jackets with beans & cheese
THURS: Lunchbox: Tandoori drumsticks with mini naans
Dinner: Pasta & pesto
FRI: Lunchbox: Sandwiches
Dinner: Chicken casserole with roasties
Will bake all bread & rolls at the weekend and make Twinks hob nobs, flapjack and maybe Brownies if I have time.0 -
Here goes with another week's. I don't know where the time goes...
Sun: Turkey biryani, with extra veggies
Mon: Coconut curry with rice
Tues: Pork Enchiladas
Weds: Not sure
Thurs: Soup & a roll
Fri: Sausage Casserole with jacket potatoes
Lunches are sandwiches or leftovers, and there's cereal for breakfast. I plan on doing a little baking next week to supplement the cakes/chocolate quota (there are surprisingly a few Twinks' left in the tin!) but I might make some coconut butterfly cakes for a change. Hopefully I won't need to do a big shop this coming week as I intend to majorly cut down on drinking caffeinated or artificially sweetened drinks and make more good things and treats instead of buying them. I didn't realise til I started doing the GC how much more I am spending! Never mind...
Great to see your mealplans, they're always such a source of inspiration.
