    The basic structure of our menu is the same most weeks, but here is ours for this week:

    Sun: roast chicken, garlic mash, carrots, green beans, cauliflower, peas & sweetcorn, gravy; apple pie and cream
    Mon: fish in breadcrumbs (from the shop), vegetables
    Tues: cold chicken, mashed potatoes, vegetables, gravy
    Weds: shepherds pie (already in the freezer from 3 weeks ago)
    Thurs: chicken pie (make three, freeze two) and veg
    Fri: pasta and sauce (probably easy carbonara - cheese sauce with a bit of bacon and veg in)
    Sat: HM pizza

    lunches are homemade soup and sandwiches, or cheese on toast, or vegetable cheese (like cauliflower cheese, but with anything I can find in it) with fruit and yoghurt for pudding. Evening puddings are fruit.

    .

    We have a local veg shop that only opens Thurs-Sat as they sell overstock from a wholesaler. Apart from staples like onions and potatoes you never quite know what they will have, but almost all of it is packaged in large bowls for £1. The quantity of grapes for a £1 are more than I could ever hope to use. At the end of saturday you can pick up whole trays of mangos or limes for £1. I love it
