Hi all
I can't see any threads where posters have been putting up their weekly meal plans. Are members still doing this?

That's as far in advance as I can plan! I don't need to buy anything so will be staying out of the shops!
We were going to have a Chinese tonight but bought some nice steak instead (YS £1.65), salad was 15p, peppercorn sauce 20p and chips are in the freezer (will prob use about £1 worth) so dinner tonight is £3 instead of the twenty something we would have spent on a takeaway![STRIKE]CC1: £354.35 / £354.35[/STRIKE]
