    Hi, can i post my plan too, have only just started planning and im hoping im more likely to stick to it.

    Im having a use up stuff week!!

    Sunday - Roast Lamb, yorkies,carrots,cabbage, roast potatoes (Leg BOGOF £6.99 sainsburys last week)
    Monday - HM pizza (bases in freezer thanks to breadmaker and posts on here, had never made before!!!)
    Tuesday - Shepherds pie, cabbage, peas, cauliflower (HM)
    Wednesday - Spanish Chicken and rice (HM)
    Thursday - Beef stew and dumplings (HM)
    Friday - Cauliflower Cheese for me and OH and Nuggets and Chips for Children (HM, Well maybe not the nuggets unless I go shopping)
    Saturday - Pasta bake of some description, using up leftover veggies.

    DD will have packed lunches, I am reading the threads with interest to make it more exciting but its mainly sandwiches and ill do mini pizzas on the day i make pizza and she will probably have stuffed pitta bread for a day. Unfortunatley they arent allowed to take hot stuff in.

    Hi there everyone - I have done a storecupboard check and topped up at Tescos for the following meal planner for the week - spent over £34 at Tescos though so that needs trimming down next week as there are only 2 of us. Im trying to get back into meal planning because it has gone by the wayside lately and I have slipped into bad habits again :rolleyes: shouldnt need to do any more shopping other than milk & grapes so here goes......

    Sunday - Chicken dinner with yorkies
    Monday - left over chicken curry with rice
    Tuesday - Spag bog made with Quorn + HM garlic bread
    Wednesday - Quorn chilli con carni + rice
    Thursday - Veggie burgers, beans & chips
    Friday - HM veggie Lasagne + HM garlic bread
    Saturday - 5 Bean stew

    will also be making some HM soup for lunches ( DD has school lunches ) also have tuna for sandwiches. Breakfasts are porridge for me and COCO pops for DD ( I give up ). Other than that we have just made some flapjack ( disaster - but tastes nice ) and have a jelly setting in the fridge as well as a pack of angel delight for 1 night. Got some bananas to make smoothies with frozen fruit in the freezer to top up our 5 a day.

    Have a good week :D

    Wednesday - steak, potatoes and roast veg
    Thursday - HM lemon and ginger chicken with couscous

    How sad - am beginning to look forward to coming on here & posting!

    Sun - gammon hock, (£1.39 Morrisons, cooked in slow cooker so made soup at same time. Gorgeous! How cheap! Am starting to hyperventilate with excitement!) roast pots & veg (carrots, cabbage, swede, leeks)
    Mon - Stew & dough balls from freezer, veg (def swede & cabbage, DK what else)
    Tues - Pork & mustard casserole from freezer, any veg left or more bought.
    Weds - steak pie (not HM :o ) from freezer, roast pots & veg
    Thurs - staying with friend
    Fri - usual Fri night freezer surprise, probably curry and pitta breads
    Sat - DK, maybe takeaway

    Bfast smoothie, lunch HM ham soup (will remember to buy lentils & split peas next week, used rice this week) and salad with left over ham, or pasta salad or maybe gammon rissotto.

    Since starting to do this my freezer is starting to empty, rather than sitting there like a piece of modern art while I buy all fresh, dear stuff from the supermarket! Will soon be room to store gammon hocks so I never run out! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Have also come a cross a strange phenomenon of money in purse at the end of the week :j :j :j

    Thanks for the inspiration folks.
