Mealplans WB 23rd May 2008

Options
Hi everyone :hello:

I'm starting this thread for Penny-Pincher!! while she's in hospital. (Hope she's ok.)

Here's my mealplan for the week. It's not very specific this week as my mum is visiting at the weekend and I havent got a clue what we're gonna do for meals yet. I have planned all meals while she's here to be either storecupboard stuff or stuff that can be used straight from the freezer so that nothing gets wasted. We will probably have a takeaway one evening :naughty:

Fri 23 May - Jacket Potato, Beans & Salad
Sat 24 May - [strike]Meatballs & Mash[/strike] chippy :o
Sun 25 May - pork & bean casserole & mash
Mon 26 May - Salmon & Chips
Tue 27 May - Rustic Pasta
Wed 28 May - [strike]Tuna Macaroni Cheese[/strike] Chinese :o:naughty:
Thu 29 May - [strike]Chicken Curry[/strike] Egg & Chips

So what are you having this week?

Have a good week everyone :)

  • Hi

    I have been menu planning for a while now but not too strictly.I am trying really hard at the moment to more than halve my shopping budget as I aim to spend no more than £200 (from the 23rd May until the 23rd June).

    I have just done my first on line shop with Asda am really pleased with what I got for my money. My meals will go from tomorrow until next Friday.

    Friday
    Toad in the hole for us and kids will just have sausages and roasties.

    Saturday
    Home made lasagne

    Sunday
    Golden drummers and potato stars with spaghetti hoops for the kids.
    Chicken Korma and rice for me and OH

    Monday
    Tuna Pasta Bake (will make extra to freeze)

    Tuesday
    Mush - Don't ask, OH used to have this when he went camping with the cadets. Its baked beans, mixed with scrambled eggs and bacon grill. Sounds and looks horrible but its actually gorgeous and its the only thing OH makes.

    Wednesday
    Home made Pizzas.

    Thursday
    Home made chicken pie and crispy potatoes for me and OH
    Fish fingers and chips for kids

    Friday
    Bacon and egg sandwiches for me and OH
    Pasta for the kids

    For my lunches at work I will have leftovers from previous nights tea.

    OH will still buy breakfasts at work as they are subsidised and yummy.

    I also have loads of food coming with my delivery that I can batch cook and freeze to help me with the rest of the month.

    wish me luck:eek:
