Meal Planning Monday - Freezer February Week 2

If you read last weeks meal plan post you'll know I'm on a freezer emptying mission, mainly because it's full to bursting and really annoyingly disorganised.

So last week was the first week of freezer eating and it's not made a dent in it - its still full and messier.

This weeks freezer fodder looks like this...

Monday: Cannonni using the frozen cannaloni mix

Tuesday: Chicken and potato curry

Wednesday:  Spag Bol

Thursday: Steak and Kidney with Chips

Friday: Fish (could be haddock, could be cod, could be basa, I didn't label the bag), Chips and peas

Saturday: Take Away

Sunday: Chilli in tacos with savoury rice.

Hopefully this will free up a drawer but it will also certainly save some dosh for the holiday fund.

Could you live out of your freezer for a while?  How long?  Is mine ridiculously overstocked?

There's loads more meal plan ideas over at Mrs M's blog and they probably feature fresh food!!

Have a fab week!!

Meal Planning Monday - Raid the Freeezer Week

Well, after my success of following my clear out meal plan last week in an attempt to save £80 for a trip to the Christmas Markets, I'm glad to say is was a success with £70 saved!!

Unfortunately, I then realised I need to pay the next installment for a school trip so here we go again trying to save the shopping budget by eating through the freezer.  it needs emptying anyway in time for Christmas!



Meal Planning Ideas

So, looking at my list of what is in the black hole I call the freezer, we are on...

Monday
Hairy Dieters Steak and Ale Pie over a Jacket Potato

Tuesday:
Levi Roots Carribean Curry
(I froze this to not waste some chicken and to use the cook in sauce I got for £1 with a coupon!)

Wednesday:
Fish Cakes, Chips and Peas

Thursday:
Meatballs and spaghetti in home made pasta sauce

Friday:
Bangers and Mash

Saturday:
Takeaway

Sunday:
Fish pie made from the Haddock and Salmon lingering in the bottom drawer


So hopefully all I need to buy this week is fresh veg, milk, bread and potatoes.  Everything else I should have tucked away.  I've saved a small fortune using up baking supplies and dried fruit on packed lunches too.

I'm liking the saving element of this way of meal planning but I feel/fear a really big stock up shop coming.

There's loads more meal plans over At Home With Mrs M - and quite frankly they will be better and more tastier!!

Enjoy your week and let me know how much you save by eating through your stockpile!
