What a week! It seems to have literally flew past didn’t it? This is the last week of school for the boys before half term and because of our work patterns they are only in school 2 days this week. It does mean they will be spending more time at home, which means they will eat an awful lot more than usual. Funny that isn’t it, how children tend to eat more at home than they would if they were at school. I saw a meme on facebook which made me laugh so thought I would share with you.
Last week’s meal plan was pretty successful. I am trying to use more of the food we have already as I am trying to convince Mark that we need a new fridge/freezer. He is adamant ours is fine, however its small, way to small for the 5 of us!
This week’s meal plan
Monday – Ham, Egg and Chips
Tuesday – Jacket Potatoes
Wednesday – Beef Casserole
Thursday – Spaghetti Bolognaise and Garlic Bread
Friday – Chicken Wraps
Saturday – Homemade Pizza!
Sunday – Steak Dinner for Valentine’s Day!
Shopping List
As usual I have shared the shopping list for the above meals. I don’t include breakfasts and lunches because to be honest I never really know what we are going to be having until the day. My shopping always include bread and pasta as they make the bulk of our lunches throughout the week. The total this week is just over £45 so once you have included the lunches, milk etc it will probably be a £55 shopping spend for 5 people which isn’t too bad.
