Need to get back on the wagon because I've fallen royally off it lately! Its 3 more weeks until payday and I have only £50 for groceries due to a large bill that we had to pay this month. I do have lots in the freezer though and have done a total stock take this morning. Meal plan for the next few days (taking account of what needs using up first) is as follows:-

Wed: Cheese and onion quiche, salad, coleslaw and HM chips (me & DH)
Thur: Garlic and Chilli mackerel fillet with couscous (me)/pasta and garlic bread (DH), L/O quiche, beans and jacket potato(DS)
Fri: Chicken curry and egg fried rice (DH & I)/Roast chicken sweetcorn, cherry toms, cucumber and crusty baguette (DS)
Sat: Pizza night
Sun: Roast pork, veggies, mash, roast potatoes and Yorkshires
Mon: L/O pork, egg and HM chips (DH & DS), pork stirfry & noodles (me)

Will do the next plan on Tuesday so I can see what's left at that point, and what needs using up.

ETA: spent £3.67 of the £50 in Ald* this morning on potatoes, some toiletries, some jelly crystals for DS's packups and a 30p bar of chocolate for DH.
