Another post about grocery costs, meal planning and my constant frustration with it all!
I need to get serious about the amount we are spending on food. I was allowing myself a budget of £200 a month for the five of us and this was proving impossible due to the rising food prices. I’ve overspent every month this year. Now that my eldest daughter is away until June I should be able to feed the four of us in May for £200, with a little planning.
As well as lowering my spending I’m trying to provide healthier food, I’ve slipped back into oven chip mode, which is not good. One of my goals this year was to provide healthier food for my family and its got better, however there is still a long way to go.
May goals:
- Go to the farmers market once a week
- Stick to the meal plan
- Batch cook this Sunday
- Provide one vegetarian meal a week
I’m going to post my grocery spending on this blog to make me accountable.
Spent so far: £41.75
