Help, need to cut weekly shopping bill

pws52

Padding out the meat with veg is a good idea and I put veg in curries and also lentils which I find are cheaper in Asian stores and in the world section at Tesco. Tesco brand lentils are more expensive.
Using dried pulses to make chilli beans in the slow cooker is a lovely meal....I top mine with corn bread which is quick and easy to make as a topping on the chilli.

I never thought that OH would accept more vegetarian meals but he has but the change has been gradual....perhaps so gradual that he hasn't noticed!

Hope that this helps.

Thanks all
krlyr you are right, Hubbie brought home a large beef joint from work (xmas perk) which I cut into 5 joints (so no leftovers) the last one we're having this sunday - usually have chicken for Sunday lunch then use the leftovers from that to make chicken noodles for Monday x
Defo going to try a few more meat free days - will see if hub notices, haha x
