Another week and another meal plan from me! I absolutely love meal planning. It is a fantastic way to save money, stay organised and avoid the last-minute takeaway. I’m running a weekly meal planning linky, that allows other bloggers to share their meal plans too. I hope that this will help people to find lots of inspiration, delicious recipes and maybe read some helpful blog posts about meal planning and money saving.
It doesn’t take me long to meal plan. I sit down once a week, on a Friday or Sunday night, and look at what groceries we have available. Then I think about the different meals that we haven’t had recently, or look online for some inspiration. I then place my Tesco shop online. In the past, I switched from shopping at Tesco to shopping at Aldi and saved over 30%!

My favourite meal plan from last week was: Baby Led Weaning Friendly Recipes
The Meal Planning Linky Week #62
This week I have planned 7 dinners. I’ve actually planned when the dinners are going to be, which I don’t usually do. The main reason for this is that we have a busy week next week.
Meal Planning Linky Week #62 are:
Slow cooker spaghetti bolognese
Quesadillas
Chicken tikka, rice, bhajis & naan
Burgers & Airfryer Chips
Pasta bake with garlic bread
Nandos chicken with Mexican rice
Toad in the hole with Mediterranean veggies
Unusually for me, I don’t really have many of my own recipes to link to this week. As we are going to be using lots of convenient meals and foods this week. This includes meal kits ordered from Amazon and ready-made rice. I’m going to be low on time as my Mum will be having a procedure in the hospital and I’m going for a couple of scans and X-rays myself.
Rather than resorting to a takeaway, because of time restraints, we are going to try and stick to the meal plan each day and save money.
I absolutely love my *triple slow cooker. It helps me batch cook, make a separate meal for Daisy and I can even make side dishes too!
If you’re looking for meal planning inspiration then be sure to read my meal planning tips and my meal planning with mince post. I’ve also got a post about making a roast chicken go further.
I do understand the need for convenience in meal planning sometimes. As long as the spending is frugal and we stick to the budgets.
I do hope your mom’s procedure goes well.
All the best for a great week ahead too.
Thanks so much lovely – it went fantastic!
Ooohh yummy meals. I hope your mam’s procedure goes well lovely.

Hope you and your Mum are both ok. Sometimes we have to go for easy meals – they all sound lovely though
Thank you! I’ve tried to make it nice still!

Lovely meal plan – i love Quesidillas. I hope everything goes okay for you and your mum this week.
Thank you Catherine! It went great! We’re having the Quesadillas tonight – can’t wait now!
I love the sound of all of your meals. I think sometimes you have to use meal kits and ready made things like rice if your life is busy.
Good luck to your mum. I hope everything goes OK and for you too with the scans and xrays. x
You do Kim! Thanks so much – it went well x
Glad to have instructions for airfryer chips. Made some last week and they got way too brown. Will try these again using your recipe! Thanks so much. Praying for your mother’s procedure!
Hope they go well! x My Mum’s procedure went so well – thank you! x
Yummy meals no matter how they are made to be honest. I am glad to hear your mums x-ray went well.
