My Meal plan from Monday 7th is..

Mon - Ham, egg and Chips
(kids tortellini with a tomatoey sauce)

Tue - Chilli prawns with spaghetti (chicken for dh as he hates prawns and ds as he wouldn't dream of even trying a prawn)

Wed - Bacon and pea risotto

Thu - Shepherds pie with baked beans

Fri - Chicken Curry, Rice, naan bread (ds at Grandmas)

Sat - Fillet Steak, Dauphinois pots, green beans


It may not be in that order!! was given 2 lovely fillet steaks today which I bunged in the freezer, so planning them for a Saturday night treat..dh makes mean dauphinois potatoes..

It really helps for me to post here, somehow it helps me stick to it

Well after me and Mr Sparkle managed to spend £300 on a tesco delivery in December plus do another tesco shop for £200 plus still spend £250 on random mini shops and £100 on take aways we have had something of a lightbulb moment.

It is totally ridiculous that we spent £850 in one month! there is only me him and an admittedly fat cat. That dd include cleaning stuff and toiletries but still.

We have realised it's mainly due to really really bad planning and about 75% if not more of the food gets thrown out as we haven't used it before the use by date. We even threw out a whole chicken as we defrosted it but then decided we fancied pizza so phoned for take away instead, that is shameful.

So we have been through the freezer and cupboards and written a meal plan for January. this week is:

Tuesday: HM steak pie
Wednesday: Chicken and rice
Thursday: Salmon and chips
Friday: Steak in a peppercorn sauce
Saturday: Tuna steaks
Sunday Lasagne
Monday: Steak something

Need to buy lunch bits, fruit and veg and that should be it for this week.

We aso stopped smoking and have worked out that if we put the money from that plus the money we are saving from meal planning aside we can pay off the mortgage in 10 years instead of 30, that's a pretty good incentive!
