Food budget saving - also with a baby with milk and egg intolerance

hulahoop09

Hiya

I am back to work in 1 week after 9 months off and we are trying to get finances in order and want to if possible cut out £200 per month food budget or find better ways to make use of it. We have a small freezer and a small chest freezer so I have started freezing bread as my parents used to when I was young and I have started taking the skin off bananas and freezing them from my 7 month old for dessert (part defrost and mix with bit of soya milk so kind of like banana ice cream). I also plan on making a few meals to freeze like chilli etc. What I was wondering is if anyone has any tips on how I may be able to save or use the money wisely please share I use a lot of chicken as hubby loves it and take chicken salad for lunch rather than living on cup a soups all the time! Also as I will be back to work I need to decide what I want for lunch (I could live on cereal as it also helps lose weight ). So I tend to buy asdas own frozen chicken fillets.

Any tips very welcome!!!

For your egg/dairy intolerant baby you could try vegan recipes - here's a site link: http://www.vegansociety.com/lifestyle/food/recipes/baby-and-toddler/

Then add whatever you wish re the meaty items.

Look at the Grocery Challenge thread - lots of ideas and the recipes are posted near the beginning of each month's thread.
