The locusts, I mean kids :cool: are off this week so I need filling meals and plenty snacks on hand.
All of this is from the freezer/cupboards so I'll only need fresh stuff.
Sunday-At my sisters for dinner
Monday-Beef stir fry
Tuesday-Eating out with Tesco vouchers
Wednesday-HM corned beef pie, chips and peas
Thursday-Sausage casserole
Friday-HM Pizza and garlic bread (Pay day :j)
Saturday-Jambalaya to use up odds and ends
Lunches will be cheese and onion pasties or sausage rolls as I have loads in the freezer, they can have HM flapjacks or fairy cakes with them and fruit.
Breakfasts will be weetabix with dried fruit or HM yoghurt with dried fruit.
Snacks, HM flapjacks, fairy cakes, crisps, fruit and A!di oatie biscuits that I have in the cupboard.
I've just remembered that I need juice to get them through the week as well. There is not much left in the budget but we should get through until Friday :eek:
