I'm sure there are a few of us who do weekly meal plans, and thought it would be good to post them for others to steal. Where I've stolen the recipes (we do this all the time) I've put the website.

I'll add that it's all vegan, but a lot can easily be adapted to include meat. This week I got some African spices, so my meal plan reflects that. The other week, I had fresh dill, parsley, thai basil, mint, basil and thyme so based it around that. I like some sort of 'theme'.

We tend to go food shopping every 10-14 days spending around £45-£55 (at Lidl) and maybe another £15 at Tesco, so we do have leftovers, or sometimes a cupboard dinner depending what we have. Though it was a takeaway pizza last night!

  • Ethiopian berebere coconut curry (Crumbsmag)
  • Summer Galette (The Guardian)
  • Kuku Paka - East African Chickpea Curry
  • Sticky Shittake with noodles (Bosh)
  • Ghormeh Sabzi
  • Harissa Pappardelle
  • Butter beans with salsa verde & ciabatta (The Guardian) - This would be great with lamb!
  • French lentil and rocket salad with 'cheese' (Food 52)
 
You guys are so organised...i tend to pop out and buy whatever i fancy on the day/maybe day before. :o

I used to be like that, but now spending 30 minutes a week on a meal plan and going shopping once is saving me so much money. I used to go to Tesco/Lidl every other day and could easily spend £35 each time as I didn’t have a list.

Did the weekly shop which includes lunches, breakfasts and snacks last night and spent £65 (including a box of beer). I reckon we won’t need to go shopping for 10 days. Meal planning ftw!
