August is the absolute worst but not for food. Not only do I have to work while M is off school for the entire month but it’s both his birthday and MrG’s birthday as well as my nephew’s. All of this equates to it being a tight month moneywise.
One of the things I do when we need to watch the pennies when it comes to food, is to eat from the freezer. I am notoriously bad at buying exactly what we need so when the freezer is pretty full we have a week or so of eating that food to save 1 or maybe 2 shopping trips. It really does help!
This week in food:
Monday: ‘Boba – Fett- Uccini’. It’s MrG’s birthday and Bess has a day of Star Wars inspired food including this pasta dish. Not sure exactly how it will turn out taste wise but she has salmon, pasta, bacon, prawns, asparagus and cream on the ingredients list so I reckon it will be pretty good!
Tuesday: Sausage and mash
Wednesday: Chicken wraps and nachos
Thursday: Gammon, egg and chips
Friday: Meatballs and spaghetti – Going to get M to make the meatballs.
Saturday: ‘Homemade’ pizza. Not entirely homemade – I picked up a pack of 5 giant flatbreads for £1.25 and we will just top those!
Sunday: Fish pie
Whatever you have planned for the week, I hope you enjoy it. I would love to hear what your go to meals are? Easier to prepare the better! Feel free to comment below.
August and early September is the worst for us 2. My fella’s and my 2 girls have their birthdays and this year we also have a wedding to go to. I think we will be having a freezer week over the next few weeks.
Happy birthday to MrG. The Star Wars food sounds like fun. x
