I've googled away and done a bit of reading on Thrifty Lesley's website. I've also done a bit of brainstorming on what we like to eat and meals that could go on our menu. What I'm wondering is how do YOU meal plan? Do you have a spreadsheet? Do you work out exactly what each meal costs? Do you do it every week? Fortnightly? Once a month?
I'm going on Maternity leave shortly and know we can reduce our grocery spend. We don't waste much and do eat healthy, but we tend to eat expensive meals. We are a family of 2 adults and a soon to be baby that I'm planning to breastfeed so I don't think that counts as a person that needs feeding - although I might be needing to eat a bit more!
Your helpful suggestions are appreciated. I'd like to reduce our food budget to £50 a week or less which would include breakfast, lunch and dinner.
