Meal Plan July 2022

I meal plan to save money.  It involves discussion, stocktaking and planning - but it is financially well worth it.  I got the idea first from my parents when I was growing up, and more recently from Martin Lewis on his Money Saving website.

I write out the days and dates on the month first - we have commitments on some days that affect our choice of meal.

I write in a rough guide of what we will eat on each day - but it remains completely flexible, so if we don't fancy a stir-fry one day, or I've planned a hearty stew and it's a hot day, then we can cook something else.

We rarely eat out.  There is just nothing we can't make cheaper at home!

We don't eat meat, but do eat eggs and fish.
