I thought I would take a tip from Frugal Girl who always outlines her weekly meal plan. For me it will help me keep organised and planned. It will also demonstrate how to eat well on a budget, I’ve been busy on the old calculator and this entire menu (breakfasts, lunch & dinners and snacks) for this week comes to a total price of £31.14, which comes to a daily cost per person of £2.22.
Breakfasts – hubby has Weetabix, skimmed milk and Cranberry juice and I have porridge and coffee
Lunch – Hubby has couscous salad (I will share this recipe on Sunday when I make the next batch), 2 bananas, 2 apples each day. I have soup, wholemeal bread
Dinners
Monday – Lasagne*& Salad
Tuesday – Lasagne* & Salad
Wednesday – Chicken and Veg soup* and wholemeal bread
Thursday – scrambled egg on toast
Friday – Chilli Con Carne* and Rice
Saturday – Pizza (Homemade naturally I will share my recipe on Saturday)
Sunday – Plate meat pie and veg (again homemade)
*All from the homemade ready meal collection from the freezer
In a bid to understand and manage the day to day spending I have set up a new page “spending diary” which I will be updating daily and can be found on the left hand side or via this link http://frugalupnorth.blogspot.co.uk/p/spending-diary.html
I wish my lot would let me do meal plans ..........lifes to hectic so i do a general weekly plan but change it day to day dependant on who is in
