haven't tried the monthly menu planning, I have enough trouble planning for the week...........
ReplyDeleteyour menu does sound good though...
Gill in Canada
Thanks Gill, it'll be fun to see how much it changes! ;)
DeleteOK, I have to ask - what is Chicken Balti? Is it Indian or ??? Everything sounds delicious though - my oldest daughter would love the Shepherd's Pie (especially for two dinners).
ReplyDeleteHI Laura - yes curry with peppers and onions. It's lovely and medium spiced - just right!
DeleteI've tried the monthly plan as well & not had much success. But, I need to get on top of using what we have, and continuing to trim back our budget, so I'll see how you do this month & maybe follow you. ;-) We're having a few pasta dishes this week + our standard pizza (homemade) after skiing. Maybe fish, but just realized that I forgot to defrost it this morning. Oops. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to check cupboards/menu plan/shop in that order this month..we'll see how it goes. Good luck.
DeleteI always forget to take stuff out of the freezer, so much that I leave myself big notes on the fridge before going to bed!
We're hoping to spend only £40 THIS MONTH! Got alot in the freezer which helps.
ReplyDeleteWell if you can keep to the monthly plan it will save you a FORTUNE! Well some money anyway.
I think we've been able to do it because we repeat our menu.
If we don't fancy a dinner we swap it over with another.
And if we miss a meal (invitation) we carry that over.
I really hope it works out for you Laura.

Thanks sft. It will be AMAZING if you do it. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteNo weekly menu planning around here. We all eat different foods at different times so it's a bit chaotic on that front. Michael buys the meat he wants and cooks it the way he wants it (spicy!) while I'm cooking fish/chicken in bulk and eating lots of salad and soup (diet food). I did cook up a big pot of veggie chili but I'm not eating it as I'm not eating beans yet but both Michael and Kazi love it.
ReplyDeleteIt may be chaotic but it's working for you - 6lbs off and keeping to your grocery budget. Yay!
DeleteMenu planning is my Achilles heel... I'm so bad at it..even when I do plan, it never goes as planned. Wanna plan out a month for me?! ;) lol!
ReplyDeleteKindly NO!!! Lol :0)
DeleteBLTs sounds so good to me right now.
ReplyDeleteI wish you the best in your goal. I'm trying to get a handle of our grocery bill.
You have a great menu planned! Enjoy your week.
Thank you and good luck with your grocery budget! :)
