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 and a fried egg on top. It was only a small joint so there’s enough for a couple of sandwiches for lunch tomorrow but nothing else for leftovers.
- Tomorrow’s steak pie is one that I bought reduced from £3.69 to £1.49 last week and I plan to serve it with some mushy peas and potatoes with gravy. Mmmmm 😉
- Our Tesco is selling Quorn steak strips reduced to £1.05 in the freezer section so I’ll be making fajitas on Thursday using that with some red onion and green peppers. I’ll be using some ready made fajita spices rather than attempting any fancy cooking though!

That's great Cass that you have a meal plan. I wish we were organised enough to do this, we'd probably save money too. Normally I do POD in the evening and my husband does dinner but we definitely have too many takeaways. We must hatch a plan to meal plan! Yum yum to fajitas 🙂
Love the price of those Quorn strips, we love fajitas in our house. I need to get better at planning meals!
Yummy! Can we come round yours for tea! Gammon is a favourite in our house
We try and plan out meals too – yesterday was pasta with home made tomato sauce, tonight is pizza and salad and tomorrow is mushroom risotto.
I haven't had gammon and egg for ages……..added to my shopping list
We need to get meal planning again – it makes things so much more convenient as well as saving money doesn't it.
Ohh yum, I could fancy a steak pie. Sadly our one is awaiting a new element at the moment!
Oh yum. We are having leftovers tonight, specifically beef casserole
I live day by day and never sure what we are going to eat! lol H x
Autumnal food for us so butternut squash soup and the slow cooker will be making a reappearance so lots of stews and then leftovers with a jacket potato the next day.
Fajitas are my favourite! I need to get better at meal planning and wednesdays task is to buy some food for the slow cooker – I need to get back into better habits with it!
Ohh it sounds like you have a delicious week ahead, loving the sound of the tuna pasta bake! x
I am trying to get back into the swing of meal planning now my hubby has a new job. I love looking in the reduced section of Asda and Tesco for yummy bargains.
