Hello – Happy Friday! My daughter is FINALLY in school and I’m so happy with the extra time that I have to work. It’s been so nice to meal plan this week, while home alone, for the first time in absolutely months!
Meal planning helps us to have low food waste which is really important to me. I feel pretty rubbish if we have to throw something away, usually thinking of the environmental impact and the fact that other people struggle to afford food around the world. I am always trying to take steps to make sure we are avoiding overspending on groceries.

This week I’m going to have a Hello Fresh box! I’ve got a code for (*Grab £46 off your first 3 boxes) if you fancy using them yourself next week. Don’t forget to cancel if you don’t want to subscribe though – set a reminder when you order your discounted box! I have gone for a meal box this week, for 6 of our 7 meals, as we have a busy week on and I’m in need of quick wins for my time for sure.
I’ve been meal planning for well over 2 years now pretty much every single week. It is a great way for us to save money and I really enjoy having a nice variety of meals to choose from each week.
Each week other lovely bloggers link up their meal plans, to try and share recipes around with one another, inspire each other and hopefully drive a little bit of extra traffic too! I really enjoy running this linky and seeing what meals everyone is cooking that week.

Awww lovely to hear that school is going well for you all - enjoy the extra free time ! That all sounds totally delicious. I'm wondering what makes Prince Harry's chicken pie extra special though !
