OK my turn :j

Ive just returned to full time work after battling with depression for over 8 months. Now i dont have as much free time I really need to menu plan not just so i use up my storecupboard but also so we dont take the easy but expensive option of eating out or grabbing junk food.

Breakfasts for us both is always toast or cereal. Lunch for hubs (when at work) will be either HM sushi, tuna mayo sandwiches or HM chicken tikka with salad, my lunches in the week will be crakers and light cream cheese. We both get fruit at work which is a great money saver and and additional snack after lunch :j

Sunday

D - Roast chicken with veg (freezer)

Monday

D - HM chilli (freezer)

Tuesday

D - Ikea meatballs (freezer) with HM chips

Wednesday

Thursday

Shopping wise all Ive had to buy this week were the following, everything else was either in the freezer or my storecupboard.

So hopfully i can save some $$$ this week!
