Hello and welcome! Today it is another Weekly Meal ideas blog talking about my love for a curry. I used to have Curry Sunday’s where I wouldn’t have a roast dinner but have a curry instead. Having themes for your weekly meal planner is the great way to keep meal times interesting for kids and can help make the most of the food you have in your cupboards, fridge and freezer.
Please see my Grocery Haul video for this week:
Add to what you have and a weekly budget when it comes to groceries than monthly.
So I still have some money left from this weeks shop and so got some curry sauce left and so will use this tomorrow to get a few more bits. I didn’t want to get too much as I am due to move out soon, and so limiting what I buy as I will be hopefully moving more into central London and go back home.
So a curry is what I have most weeks and so bought two chicken fillets, a jar of Chicken Tikka Sauce and microwave rice and haven’t used all of the sauce and was able to divide the rice for two meals this week and the sauce has lasted me three meals.
Today I had a winter favourite, Chicken Curry, Rice and chips. Now I do prefer chunkier chips, so will buy bigger size chips, but it was what already was there and I have a preference of the type of chips I like to buy so will add these along with some more chicken and may pick up some vegetables to add to it as I have often done this too, as I only spent £8.74 and my budget for this week was £20 even though I like to if I can keep it under £10 or just over.
I also bought some snacks and will need to replenish these too, but still won’t need that much.
So my top tips when it comes to Meal Ideas:
- Check items online that you need once you have checked to see what you already have stored that can be used for meals in the week
- Keep cleaning items and pharmacy separate from your Grocery budget
- Have a meal plan each week and have a calendar that you can put in meal ideas if you have a big family
- Have food that can spread out through the week and even the week after depending on the best before or use by dates
Good theme ideas:
- Curry night or weekend
- Meat free meals
- Burger feast and teach your kids on how to make a homemade burger
- Buffet night
- Movie night
- Friday Takeaway night
They are just a few. Just get the most out of your food and love it.
Many thanks for reading,
