Is there already a thread on this subject?
So...I totally messed up my finances last week. It left us with very little for food, and we had to live on what was in the freezer and cupboards.
It was a MASSIVE wake up call! I'm now ashamed that we get through £3-400 a month on shopping!
A complete overhall is needed.
Can anyone inspire me with meal plans, etc?
There is:
DH (active job. Eats lunch at work- access to a microwave, hates lentils 😂)
Me (dairy/egg intolerant, will eat the occasional bit of meat)
DS6 (Eats anything, eats lunch at school)
DD11 (Eats anything, packed lunch taken to school)
One puppy
Three cats
-Monday through Thursday, the kids eat a light dinner before they're picked up at 6pm, so just a snack needed on these days.
How much can I realistically get our shopping budget down to, without going stupid?
Cleaning/household wise, we are still using up toiletries from Christmas, so won't be buying bath stuff for a while. We use Method cleaning stuff/washing detergent.
Bit of a long winded thread, sorry!
