A weekly meal plan and a shopping list
A friend in the schoolyard said this morning that she was planning to cook a week of my meals. I'm thrilled that people are using the ideas and pleased to be helping with meal planning. She suggested that I could maybe do a shopping list as well on the blog. So below is a guide for a weeks menu, then at a later date I could add another week. I will include a full shopping list, so all you have to do is cook the meals and enjoy them. The list below includes ingredients for all of the meals based on a family of four. I have included prices from Tesco online, which will just be a guide, as they are the products I would chose. The total cost is under £95.00, for 7 evening meals, which is around £13.50 per meal. I realise I have chosen the meal with haddock which bumps the price up a bit because of the price of fish, but it's such a lovely meal it's worth the extra. Obviously you are not going to use everything up, so infact it's less per meal and lots of store cupboard ingredients for future meals.

Fantastic thanks Sally!
ReplyDeleteInteresting to do and to work out the cost, I suppose per head it's not much per meal. The list includes ingredients that will then become store cupboard items. Hope it helps. x
