Nsd here, kids fed at nursery so they'll just want some snack supper, will do crackers and ham I think...
Took my lunch to work, and leftover meatloaf for my tea...
Have also sorted tomorrow lunch but not sure about dinner. Might be egg night here too...

Not happy with my total so far - another £3.62 in Mr W yesterday on plum tomatoes, onions, okra (never tried this before but it was nice in Jollof Chicken last night), coriander and ginger.

Had leftovers from last night for dinner today.

Housesmates turn to cook tonight so no spend today thankfully

The last of my gone wrong jam has been turned into a......

Haven't a clue what it's like yet but will be better informed at supper time when we have it with custard;)

Ok so i have about 17 - 20 dinners left in the freezer but i think the kids are getting bored of the same old spag bol, chicken curry, sausage casserole, chicken casserole, pasta and sauce i've got in the freezer. I've just been through my cupboards and listed what i have, i can't think of anything to make them.

I have :

1 egg,
Pasta,
Chicken flavored rice,
herbs,
gravy mix,
lasagne sheets,
chicken cup a soup,
bread,
baked beans,
tuna,
tinned toms,
sandwich ham,
spring onions,
potatoes,
carrots.

What can i make them for dinner, must be dairy free as one of my daughters can't have dairy.

HELP

I am a bit late but how about tuna fishcakes, served with baked beans? or jacket pots, cooked, the middles scooped out and then mashed and mixed with ham, spring onions and the egg, put back in the skins and bake for a bit longer to crisp them up.

Just made this. It's yummy.

But does anyone know if I can freeze it please.




I tend to make batches of soups and freeze for eldest son to take to work for lunch.

£1.08 spent on 2 big cups of tea at work and £15 on diesel to last the week.

I made chicken stuffed with goats cheese and basil (off my windowsill:)), carrots and broccoli and some garlic mini roasties for tea tonight and it was lovely. The roasties were some new pots that had been in the bottom of the fridge for ages cut up small and roasted with some garlic butter I bought last week.

While I was cooking tea I made some GF museli and some fruit salad for lunches tomorrow and Thursday. The museli was all from the store cupboard and will stop me buying expensive GF cereal this week.

Gammon steaks defrosting in the fridge for tomorrow:)

Just popping by to catch up with the thread. Haven't the heart to update my total but let's just say that if for some reason we're housebound for the next few weeks, we have enough food too keep us going! Have been stocking up due to the dreaded school hols, I hate taking the kids to the SM.

Kids had an interesting tea, took some bolognaise sauce out of the freezer, cooked up some pasta, went to heat up the sauce only to find it was lentil soup! Added a generous squirt of Tom ketchup and some grated cheese and they didn't even notice :rotfl::rotfl:.

DH and I are having chilli, for the next week or so probably as I have rather overdone it. Still, it'll freeze nicely!

PennyGrabber loved your post. Hats off to you for keeping to that budget. DD is having a friend over tomorrow and they are also having HM pizza. Cheap as chips to make so how come they cost so much to buy?

Jumble jack, I also managed to nab some 'wild' (ok growing thru fence) raspberries today, yellow ones. They improved the dog walk no end.:)
