WEEKLY MEAL PLAN

Meal planning is a guaranteed way to save you money when doing your weekly shop, which is why I am adamant we need to start doing more of it. Week after week I have a vague idea but my opportunity to get to the supermarket is usually quite spontaneous so lists haven't always been remembered, thus resulting in of course over buying and under using. Each week I am ashamed at how much we throw away that's unused, past it's sell by date, it really is a disgrace. So starting today I'm planning our weekly meals, ordering our online shop accordingly and I'm determined to cut out the over spending and wastage. Wish me luck.

So that's my weekly meal plan, I've left Sunday blank just so we have a day to play with as quite often we'll visit my Nan or parents for tea, or maybe even eat out. As you can see, all the ingredients we actually have already in the cupboards I have crossed through, not doing this before hand was leading to me umming and ahhing at Tesco and picking up items we already had 3 of at home. I was unorganised and silly. I'll definitely report back and let you know how it went, if we popped to the shop to pick up anything and whether I have reduced my food shop bill this month.
