Nothing too exciting on the menu for this week but you can tell that the weather's getting colder because the slow cooker is working overtime this week as five out of our seven dinners will be cooked using it!Last week I took part in bit of a trial of the new Tesco Brand Guarantee which is the initiative that gives you money off your shopping there and then if you could have bought your shop cheaper elsewhere. The Tesco Brand Guarantee will ensure that you never have to pay more for your weekly shop by price matching your branded shop against the price you would pay in Asda, Morrisons and … [Read more...]

This week’s bargain fruit and veg….
OK, I know that's not the most inspiring title for a blog post but bear with me....I have a bit of a love hate relationship with Aldi.I love their prices but I hate the fact that I can't get everything I need from there which usually means that I end up having to pop to another shop on the way home.Rather than doing a full sop in my local Aldi, I've started to pop in on a Saturday morning after I drop Master Frugal off at his Primary University class to get a few bits. I don't generally have my meal plan written up by this point but I do like to stock up on their 'Super Six' … [Read more...]

Colourful Quick and Easy Vegetable Risotto (makes 2-3 good sized portions) 1 tablespoon oil 150g Arborio rice 375g mixed veg (frozen is fine and actually ideal … [Read more...]
This week’s meal plan {28 September 2015}
It's been a while since I posted our weekly meal plan but now that the kids have gone back to school and life has (kind of) settled down again after the Summer Holiday chaos, I thought I'd try and share our meal plan on here every now and again.I'm not going to go through our meals day by day but I did want to tell you about a few of the bargains that we'll be eating:The gammon that we had tonight was from a small joint that I bought in Asda for £2.97. I cooked it slowly in the slow cooker while I was at work today and it was ready to eat at tea time along with some new potatoes … [Read more...]
