Our Meal Plan for this week £48 - Summer School Holidays Week 2

It is the second full week of Summer School Holidays here in the UK and we're settling in to a more relaxed pace and routine.  To stop us running out of food from our weekly shop after 3 days I'm making sure we have 3 meals and 2 snacks per day, no random raiding the fridge moments.  There is a tendency for everyone to eat more in the holidays but in order to stick to our budget and not grow around the middle too much we'll be sticking to normal mealtimes as much as possible.

Breakfasts will be homemade muesli with milk/yoghurt or wholemeal toast and spread with a piece of fruit for afters.  

My 3 daughters are at a holiday club this week from 10am - 2pm and they will be served lunch there so I don't need to worry about that, hurrah! Hubby and I will have dinner leftovers for lunch as usual and there will of course be baking for snacks and in case friends pop in for a cuppa.  Check out my Tummy Fillers for the Summer Holidays for ideas.

Weekend Lunches are easy this week too.  We're having lunch with friends on Saturday, I'll be taking enough pudding for 10 and salads sourced from our allotment.  Sunday will be Lunch Bread Cases which are easy to whip up after Church.

Dinners will be low faff, except for Sunday when we are having a roast in honour of a very special guest.  My Mum is coming!!! It's 2 years since she last visited and we are hugely excited, even counting the days and hours until she arrives here after a long journey from NZ.  We just cannot wait!

As usual I compared the cost of my shopping using My Supermarket.  The cheapest, as usual, was Asda at £48.26.  The same items purchased from Sainsbury's would've cost £56.53 and from Tesco £60.72.  Interestingly my items would've cost £62.81 from Ocado, only £2.09 more expensive than Tesco.

Mixed Bean Burgers with Potato Wedges - Thursday
