A budget meal plan – vegetarian

I mainly write about food on my Eat Simply food blog but I have been thinking for a while that I need to start meal planning over here at Family Budgeting and reviewing my budget – as our food shop spending can really get out of control.

It can be really shocking how much of our budget goes on food actually – and quite how much gets wasted. I am not proud of it and i is not setting a good example to my kids either

I have had a very expensive last few weeks so I am going absolutely back to basics here and that means meal planning.

Here is what is on the budget menu plan – vegetarian at Casa Family Budgeting  this week

 

 

A Budget Meal Plan – Vegetarian, Simple and Thrifty

I am using lots of things from my store cupboard this week in my meal plan and lots of frozen veg too. I plan to just shop for bread and milk and a salad and keep costs as low as possible:

 

Monday

(Dads away so keeping it super simple today)

Tomato or Vegetable soup and Cheese on Toast

 

Tuesday

Spaghetti  with Roasted Vegetable Sauce

 

Wednesday

Veggie burgers with sweetcorn relish  and home-cooked sweet potato fries  and green salad

 

Thursday

Black Rice Salad and veg (with Quorn bacon for the kids)

Sweet Chill Tofu and Rice (for us)

 

Friday

Homemade tortilla pizzas and a quinoa salad

 

Saturday

Veggie quiche (using leftover veg form Friday) with baked potatoes

 

Sunday

Nut roast and all the Sunday lunch trimmings and lots of black pepper
