Trying to cut down our horrendous food bills of a couple of hundred pounds (plus!) per week. That’s around £1000+ per month.
It’s my fault for getting into the habit of the same meals and perhaps being a little excessive.
So, I aim to at least try some simple and cheap nutritious meals for most of the week. So far the ideas I have:
Jacket potatoes with salad, cheese, beans etc
Beans or eggs on toast followed by a lovely fruit salad
Soups with a sandwich or pitta
Salads with boiled eggs
Spag Bol
Sausage, mash and peas
What else can I add to this repertoire? Nothing spicy as we have intolerance and a toddler. Family of 5.
I am making a batch of cookies and homemade iced sponge cake this week for nice desserts / tea time treats as I don’t want to feel my meals are so bland that I’m not getting excited about them! Yes, I am very
spoilt. 🤭
A simple iced sponge or batch of cookies only costs a couple of pounds each and is plentiful ( also gives a nice ending to a simple supper).
