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.

What do you do on a night….
I have an odd question for you....What do you do on a night, after the kids have gone to bed?Mr Frugal is a bit of a computer geek which means that four or five nights a week, as soon as the kids have gone to bed, he'll turn on his computer and that'll be the last I see of him until about ten o clock time.
