Hi there!
Newbie here and from the UK but I am trying to cut down our spending to justify our return to disneyworld next year, as DH said ‘If you can find the money!’ So challenge on
Groceries is our own downfall, we spend a lot, so also on going out to eat and takeaways so I’m trying to put a ban on eating out or takeaways unless it’s an occasion or something. I’m pescatarian so we swap fish and meat around to suit each other, hence why there might be two versions listed!
I’m going to try and post on here every week to encourage me to stick to it, and any savings from our weekly budget.
Hope everyone is having a lovely week!
So meal plans for myself and DH this week is;
Monday (today) - mung bean lentil Dahl with spinach and pilau rice.
Tuesday - M&S chicken meal from freezer (bought reduced last week) for DH and salmon fishcake from freezer for me with sweet potato fries.
Wednesday - (England World Cup semi final so we have some people round to watch the match) Homemade pizzas for everyone and salad.
Thursday - Jacket potatoes with baked beans and cheese.
Friday - Black bean veggie chilli with corn on the cob.
Saturday - I’m visiting my family so they’ll most likely be BBQ’ing, DH will make eggs most likely for ease.
Sunday - Nut roast with Yorkshire puddings, peas and carrots.
We’ll be doing all breakfasts, lunches and snacks from home too!
So far weekly food spend is at £22.35 out of our new £60 budget! (That budget also includes cat food for our two fur babies)
I’m off to scout the rest of this thread for some ideas xx
