Meal Plans WB 7th January 2007

gingin_2

I was shockingly bad at sticking to mine last week but did manage to not go to the shops for extra ingredients other than budgeted.

Tonight : Toad in the hole, mash and gravy and whatever veggies I have in the fridge

Tomorrow : turkey pie (last of the christmas turkey that was frozen) with mash and green veg

Tues : Fish pie with spinach and grilled tomatoes

Weds : pasta with bacon and leeks (just me and children oh is away)

Thurs : Sausages with cheesy baked potatoes and hm barbeque sauce (Oh is still away) and salad

Friday: curry of some sorts

Saturday : Chilli and Nacho's with hm avocado salsa.

Things I need to buy are
pasta
bacon
baking potatoes
spinach
small amount of smoked fish for pie
more veg
fruit
milk bread
ham
cheese
eggs.

Lunches tend to be soup or beans on toast for dd and I, sandwiches for ds and oh gets lunch at work. I have been making up a large bowl of fruit salad for dd and I during the day to eat rather than snacking on rubbish ( as is the norm)


Have a good week

I agree! I shop at Sainsbury's and have never seen such amazing prices. Is this just before closing? Thank you

Thank goodness it's not just me!! I've often said my Sainsbury might reduce something BY 20 or 50 pence, but never TO 20 or 50 pence!:rotfl: :rotfl:
The sickening thing is I can't live too far from Penny-Pincher so if she would reveal which branch this is, I might get the odd bargain that would soooo help my budget.

This is the first week i've done this, but i think it'll make things so much easier!

Sunday - Roast chicken, roast potatoes, veg.
Monday - HM Chicken risotto (made with leftover chicken).
Tuesday - quiche, baked potatoes & salad (baked beans for my DS).
Wednesday - Shepherds pie for my DS (in freezer), minute steaks with fried onions on ciabatta & salad for me & DH.
Thursday - HM Spaghetti Carbonara - My DH's favourite.
Friday - Burrito for my DS, fajitas for us, everything in freezer.
Saturday - probably eating out.

I like everything being planned & not having to think "what are we having for tea tonight!"

Wow, Pandora, I love that you take so much care over the side-dishes, and you have such a variety of vegetables! I am very inspired.

Hello everyone,
This may sound like a really silly request, but I'm hoping that you can help. Now dont laugh please? When it comes to cooking I'm rubbish. But this year I want to change all this and save money by not buying any proccessed meals. So if anyone out there has any basic recipes for the likes of spag bog, shepards pie, lasagne etc.... nothing too fancy I would really appreciate it. This is the year I knuckle down and get rid of some debts. Thank you in advance.

Bargain Rzl & I/OH go to the same Sainsburys Local attached to a garage in Welling. We have also found very reduced items at Greenwich Sainsburys & Asdas and our local Tesco-usually have to go from 9.30pm onwards! Asdas are great from 8pm as stated before in many posts.

Its not evryday they have such bargains but worth taking a look:D
