It’s been a while since my previous meal plan. We are still meal planning it’s just I’m following Slimming World, so I’ve had to slightly adjust the meals each week.
We were regularly using Gousto boxes as part of our meal planning, I love Gousto! And we will still be using them, but I will have to adapt some of the ingredients.
Benefits Of Meal Planning
Meal planning is a fantastic way to stay organised, save money, and reduce stress when it comes to feeding your family. By mapping out your meals for the week, you avoid last-minute grocery trips and impulse buys, making it easier to stick to a budget.
It also helps you make healthier choices since you’re more intentional about what you’re cooking. Plus, meal planning reduces food waste, as you only buy what you need. Overall, it makes dinner time that little bit easier, freeing up more time for what matters.
Our Meal Plan For This Week
Monday – Cottage Pie
Tuesday – Spaghetti and meatballs.
Wednesday – Keema curry pies.
Thursday – Gammon, egg and homemade chips.
Friday – Burger pasta.
Saturday – Homemade lasagne. I will be changing some of the ingredients to suit.
Sunday – Five spice beef fried rice.

It sounds like you have a tasty week of meals planned. Those Keema curry pies sound so good. x
I needed this inspiration. Burger pasta sounds interesting
Lots of Autumn comfort food on your plan this week, nothing better than a cottage pie and lasagne to warm you up. Keema curry pies sound really interesting, I love curry but nobody else at my house does sadly. #MMBC
We have homemade lasagna on our menu too!
I love your ideas for meals and I do love Cottage pie but for some reason none of the rest of the family like it. It’s so frustrating . Home made chips are the best too as they taste great and are money saving as chips can be so costly these days.
I have just looked at the keema curry pie. It looks delicious!
Love burger pasta!
I’ve been meal planning for about 6 months now and it really does save time and money and alot of stress! Getting enough of the macro nutrients can be a real challenge though.
I was interested in this blog as I definitely need to do more meal planning. It will really help with our budgeting.
I enjoy meal planning really cuts down on food waste
