Update to next weeks plan as Mr M_F has made his choices.
Sat - Chick Pea Curry (cancelled pie as Mr M_F picked salmon for Mon)
Sun - Roast Pork (need to buy) roasties, yorkies, stuffing, carrots and cabbage (buy 2 x carrots a week)
Mon- Salmon (need to buy), new potatoes and veg
Tues - Shep pie (made in freezer from last week)
Weds - Freezer fish chips & peas
Thurs - Freezer veggie fingers, mash and baked beans.
Fri - Chinese chicken curry (need to buy chicken)
think we could have done it cheaper but using up spice sachets we already have and have subsituted the pies which are expensive (we like pie minster) for a cheap curry as will have to buy salmon, pork and chicken.Dedicated Debt Free Wanabee 🤓
