    Monday - roast veg and pesto lasagne
    Tuesday - Thai steak and veg curry (F) with naan bread
    Wednesday - Spanish sausage (F) casserole with tomato foccacia (F)

    Thursday - Thai squash and prawn curry with naan bread
    Back after a very long break!
  • Hello! Thought I'd pop in and set out my plans for this week - I'm challenging myself to only spend at most the £13 that's in my purse for the rest of the week, so am trying to meal plan around what I've got in the house already! My week starts tomorrow as I'm off out with the OH for dinner tonight :)

    Lunches will be soup and a roll all week, already got enough for Monday and Tuesday.

    Dinners:
    Monday - spag bol
    Tuesday - leftovers
    Wednesday - gnocci
    Thursday - lamb meatballs
    Friday - tortellini
    Saturday - fish pie
    Sunday - undecided...

    I have most of the main ingredients for the above, so should only need a few bits of veg and some more soup/rolls for later in the week.
    Savings target: £25000/£25000
    :beer: :T
