So my financial situation is a little tricky, I am not 'Broke' but due to the nature of my job I have to accept that it's unlikely that i'm likely to see another pay check until march.
This is part and parcel of my job, it's something that happens now and then and I am usually well prepared. However this time things have happened when I didn't expect it and I wasn't as well financially prepared as I usually am.
I've worked out my finances and I have enough money to last until March but it will be a little tight, so I need to cut back my spending in order to cover the bills.
One of the main places I believe I can save a good deal of money is on food. I am a bit of a prepper by nature and between Brexit and knowing this happens occasionally, I have a good store of food.
I have been into my basement and done an inventory and I was honestly surprised at how much is down there.
However I really need help doing a meal plan... I've planned on weekly basis's before but never on this scale. I think I should be able to stretch the food I have out over the next 3 months at a glance it looks like a lot of food but I know if I don't plan it and ration it I will run out before I get money again.
Planning out the meals for the next few months, knowing what I am still going to need to buy and how much that will cost will really ease my piece of mind because right now I'm in panic mode trying to get things sorted.
Any tips.
