I went to the supermarket this afternoon with my little shopping list having planned our meals for this coming week but when I saw the overflowing reduced section I had a complete rethink and changed my plan completely based on the bargains I got. I'm really pleased as we have some lovely meals coming that we wouldn't normally eat due to the prices they usually are....Sunday - Homemade Fishcakes, chips and mushy peas (see below) I managed to pick up some Haddock for 59p for two fillets which made enough for us all- Bargain!Monday - Homemade chicken nuggets and potato wedges for the … [Read more...]

Family Friendly Frugal Meals – Peach Cobbler….
This is the third week I've been ill and it's really starting to get me down a bit now - I have no energy, I feel bleugh and I can't stop coughing! The Dr has just signed me off work for a week and prescribed me with some stronger antibiotics and some steroids so fingers crossed I should be sorted soon.... This weeks meal plan reflects my lack of energy as I've cut as many corners as possible ;-)Monday - Sunday Dinner leftovers - I cooked extra potatoes and yorkshire puddings yesterday so all I had to do today was zap them in the microwave, cook some veggies and serve with the leftover … [Read more...]
Family Friendly Frugal Meals – Rice Pudding….
You know how I've said before that you should tailor your meal plan to what you have in your cupboards and any bargains that you find when you go shopping? Well this week's meal plan is the perfect example of that. I went shopping armed with my meal plan shopping list, found lots of bargains and ended up changing my plan completely. I bought four packs of diced chicken, reduced from £3.89 to 78p each along with some cocktail sausages reduced from £1.00 to 25p and some naan breads reduced to 19p. I also managed to get a big pack of Basa fish fillets for £2.95 so I've had a quick rethink … [Read more...]
Packed Lunch Ideas….
When Miss Frugal started 'big' school she didn't want to take a packed lunch as most of her friends were going to be on school dinners and the people on packed lunches have to sit on separate tables (what's that all about?) so we gave in and paid the £1.85 a day for her to have school dinners.She came home every night and told us excitedly what she'd had and every night I'd tell her that some grated carrots and cheese with a wrap followed by a small cookie was not enough for dinner but the next day she'd have exactly the same thing again! So by the time Master Frugal (the fussiest eater … [Read more...]
Family Friendly Frugal Meals – Sausage Pie….
After last weeks attempt to follow the Sainsbury's Feed your family for £50 challenge, I've decided that we do need a bit of variety on our menu. Apparently nine out of ten people make the same eight meals over and over again and looking back at my recent menu plans it looks like I'm one of those nine. Not that there's anything wrong with that but we did enjoy the variety of last week so I'm going to try and introduce some new meals to my rather limited repetoire....Monday: Sweet and sour chickenTuesday: Macaroni cheeseWednesday: Jambalaya Thursday: Sausage pie (see … [Read more...]
