Our Meal Plan For Week of 07/07/2014 - £56

It's an unusual week in our household this week, my 14yo is away for the week on a Geography field trip and, due to the Tour de France and industrial action, my younger two daughters are not at school for two days.  I'll be in London all day one day, when hubby will be working from home, and have a couple of clinic appointments and evening meetings to fit in as well.

As usual I will be baking our bread and tortillas/flatbreads and use salad greens, chard and fresh herbs from our back garden and allotments.  I have included the cost of store bought items in the meal plan to make it easier to calculate costs.

Breakfasts will be toast and spread or cereal and milk with a piece of fruit for afters.  Weekend breakfasts will be pancakes one day and crumpets the other.

Packed lunches will be Calzone with crudites, a pot of yoghurt, a piece of fruit and small baked treat. Lunches on the days when we are home will be Homemade Pizzas and Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes.

Prices and special offers reflect those of the online grocery websites, and are correct as of 7 July 2014.  Prices may vary in different in-store locations.

Our groceries cost £56.15 from Asda. As usual I compared the cost of my shopping, had I shopped elsewhere our groceries would've cost £62.32 from Sainsbury's and £63.10 from Tesco.
