This Week We're Living Below The Line

Saturday, 5 May 2012
Out Meal Plan for this week will be the this one as we will be Living Below The Line for the week.  I'm sure it will be challenging and I have already warned my daughters school that they will not have their usual banquet in their lunchboxes this week.  My youngest two daughters get a free piece of fruit each morning break at school as part of a government scheme and my youngest also gets a glass of milk provided free at morning break.

I'll be in London for dinner on Wednesday night so will be dining at the event but other than that we will be sticking to the Meal Plan.

I ordered these items online and they will be delivered tomorrow.  I had a coupon for free delivery otherwise we would've gone to the supermarket to purchase the items in order to stick to the £35 plan.  As usual I checked prices of the shopping basket with My Supermarket and my shopping would've cost £37.54 at Sainsbury's and £39.46 at Tesco.

I'll blog about how we found sticking to the plan, and any issues we faced, at the end of the week.
