meal plan / shopping list

russellbarrett

i'm going to do my weekly shop today and was just wandering if anyone has ever posted a weekly shopping list with a meal plan that i can use as an example.
thanks

the best place to start with any meal plan is
a) what do you already have in
b) what sort of things do you like?

Start by doinbg a FULL inventory of everything you have in alreay ( down to your herbs & spices!)

then you can post this up and we can suggest what you could make out of whats there already.

Eg one pack of mince can make
burgers
spag bol
canneloni
meatloaf
meatballs
spicy mexican style meatballs
lasagnes
and more!

Depends what you like really, what your budget is ( in moneyterms) and whats the most important- the important thing I think is minimising waste, this is the true bolt of OSing

Get 1 loaf of bread and some eggs. Then from the above you can make:

Honey sandwiches
Beans on toast 3x
cheese sandwiches
Fishfinger sandwiches 3x
Pie, chips -or- pie/mash
Egg sandwiches
Cheese omelette
Spanish omelette (add par-boiled sliced potatoes)
Meatballs in tomato sauce.
Bread and butter pudding
