hi all

just thought id give you this weeks meal plan... its my second one of week 2 of budgeting

saturday - hm spag boll ( using tins of toms i have in from last wks shop) with garlic bread

sunday - going to sisters for a sunday lunch

monday - HM chilli and rice and jacket pots ( made chilli last week and froze it)

Tuesday - roast chicken and veg ( using left over veg from last weeks sunday dinner that we froze)

wednesday - HM Chicken and tomato pasta bake using tinned toms i have in from last weeks shop and left over chickn from tuesdays tea)

Thursday HM shepherds pie and veggies

FRIDAY - HM potato bake

how does this look to you all ????????

odds-n-sods

looks OK to me............ you could add in a veggie meal once a week, they can be really cheap. Veggie chilli is a good one. Freezes well, too.

Just looked again, not too sure you need both rice and potatoes with monday's meal, maybe just one or the other??

I don't have a plan (due mainly to being so disorganised) but I read a thread last week on the same thing and I found it very insightful. I just love knowing how we all do it, day to day. Hopefully tons of members will join you and I be a nosey-poke.

Actually, am just reading your post above my quick reply here, goodness that's impressive. Out of interest, for those meals alone, how much do you think it will cost?

You seem to be doing great!! Keep it up.

TBH, I wouldnt worry about the Sheperds Pie Mix and just add some gravy or or stock cube. I use a tin of baked beans with the mince and is lovely.

Your meal plan sounds lovely.

If you could possibly go shopping in the evening, you may be able to get some yellow stickered items.

Good luck and keep up the good work.

Hi charliebabes,

I've added your thread to your other shopping list threads as it helps to keep all the replies together.
