    Homemade chicken katsu with real rice for hubs and 7 cal rice for me. Will also prep Cajun chicken 7 cal pasta for the week ahead

    I find those so expensive. I just "rice" any veg I get cheap instead

    Wish I could get them cheap as they are really filling with being made from glucomman fibre

    I got then in the sale so they weren't too expensive. Would never pay full price for them! Handy to have at the back of the cupboard though as veg never lasts long in our house!

    i love this thread so much. i used to dine out a lot, and as you can guess, i didn't manage to save money.

    nowadays i will try to go supermarket and look for stuff that are expiring and priced to clear.
    always got good deal on vegetables, fruits and meat. been quite fun experimenting with what i can cook and spice up ;)

    Shopped in my freezer yesterday then sat down and worked out what I needed to buy from the supermarket. Last night was wraps with salad and diced pork salsa etc a mish mash but delicious, same again for me tonight as I will be late home. The rest of the week is mince and dumplings, and possibly a sausage casserole which might turn into something else as that’s a bit wintery.
    Lunch today is a small jacket potato with coronation chicken – breakfast was crumpets with a break time snack of a dole mandarin snackpot.
    Feeling tired and a bit meh so bought some of those shot yoghurt drinks with the added vitamins to see if that helps

    Ohhh you've just reminded me, I have sausages in the freezer and some honey mustard sauce to use up....(which was for chicken but is nice with bangers I've prev found out). Might do that this week and portion it to have with veg / mash and yorkies.
