Packets of pasta n sauce and savoury rice...mug shots...the cottage cheese with chives is lovely ....alpen light bars (2 for healthy extra b) 400g loaf of wholemeal bread....the quorn low fat frozen sausages are free plus the asda meat free burgers are I think 1.5 syns each and they are lovely

The mugshots are 50p in there at the moment and handy to have in to take to work for emergency lunches! Also Hellman extra light mayo is £1 right now, 1/2 syn a tablespoon.

The muller light in there are 10 for £4 which is a good deal, someone posted about lettuce, spring onions and stuff being 50p too so stock up on salad bits!

Planning is deffo the key!

I know it might sound very mundane but I plan a weeks worth of meals and then stick to that for an entire month. I'm not able to work right now and being on sickness benefits is such a struggle money wise so planning ahead helps heap loads. I've managed to get the shopping down to just £120 a month for 2 with excessive planning! The only problem is, by the time the 3rd week comes around of eating the same meals it gets very boring lol!

Here's a link to my diary hun. It's hidden in the members only section on Minimins so quite difficult to find lol! There's a lot of chatter on mine though so i'll just post a quick draft of this months food plan these are only main meals though as I buy my fruit and veg from a local shop and I spend about an extra £40 a month on that..

BBQ chicken with SW chips and green beans.
SW carbonara.
WW lasagne ready meal with veg.
BBQ pork with rice and veg.
Lemon and garlic chicken with chips and salad.

If you like I can give you my shopping list and recipes if any of it interests you x

 

[Jodieboo]

Actually thinking about it, my shopping would still be around £120 WITH the extra £40 on fruit and veg because I have to spend £40 a month on animal food lol so yeah, £120 a month on human food haha

BBQ chicken with SW chips and green beans (free)

I'm intending on cooking 2 of the chicken breasts in this bbq sauce recipe, make some SW chips and use half a bag of green beans.

SW Carbonara. (hXa or 5 syns)

Fry off the bacon (lean) with mushrooms whilst pasta is cooking. Once pasta has cooked, drain the pasta and put it in the frying pan with the bacon and mushrooms and keep off the heat. On top, add your hXa hard cheese (30g), some black pepper and salt and half a tub of Quark. Mixing thoroughly OFF the heat. One mixed, put back on the heat for around a minute, no longer else the quark will separate. Then serve.

BBQ pork with rice and veg. (free)

Intend on making the pork the same way as the chicken but having rice and veg with it

Lemon and garlic chicken with chips and salad. (free)

Defrost 2 chicken breast and dice. Fry off the chicken in a pan with diced and peeled fresh lemon or lemon juice and 4 cloves of garlic until all cooked. Make SW chips and salad

There's going to be a few ingredients on there that I've missed off on my shopping list because I already have them or going to buy them from the local veg shop but I hope this helps a little bit, if not just ask

Forgot to mention that I'll be buying the WW ready meal from Iceland for £1 x
