Plan by Kirsty Wallace
Hiya, I saw how well received the weekly plan was so here is mine £32.98 for a family of 4 which isn’t quite a pound a day but it could be reduced if you got rid of the treats 🙈
I’d use my slow cooker to make the soup, braised cabbage (with one of the apples and a pinch of sugar) curry, and the pie filling, to keep costs down
Breakfast:
Porridge with milk and sugar
Piece of fruit
Snack
Tea and biscuits
Lunch
Bacon lentil soup and toast x 4
French toast x 2
Cream cheese and Cucumber sandwiches x 1
Dinner
Chicken with mashed potatoes, carrots, braised red cabbage, and gravy
Cottage pie with braised red cabbage and peas x 2

Jacket potatoes with beans and cream cheese
Chicken and bacon Spaghetti
Chicken and veg risotto
Pudding
Biscuits and fairy cakes

Thank you for all the work that goes into these posts. I am sure many people will benefit from their content.
I do find them very confusing to read though, the formatting and appearance of the page and the Christmas meal plan in particular make it impossible to understand what is in each meal. Is there someone ‘tech’ who can sort this out for you?
In gratitude
i’ve posted this exactly as the person who created it listed it. If you are on Feed yourself for £1 a day you can ask the creator of the shopping list. I can however, try to get her to explain a little more and update the list
Hiya Liz, thanks for your feedback ❤️ I’ve checked the Christmas plan and the ingredients are all listed below each meal title which is in bold. I wonder if it looks different for you on a different device? Kirsty x
