    5 of you on £45 a week
    we spend about £130, use to spend maybe £160 a wk for 5 of us.

    i cant see how u spend £45, ok 3 pack of meat for £20, each last 1 day, so u need to spend at least £20+ on meat, what do you have for breakfast or lunch ?

    i and the husband dont follow the three meal plan we normally eat our meal during dinner/supper time for breakfast i normally have coffee , same with the husband .kids can have my fresh hot bake pinoy pandesal

    with there mug of hot choco aside cereal
    and about the meat i try to stretch it even for up to 2 weeks..10 pound for 3 packs of mix meat..not 20
    for example the loin of pork in a pack there is 4 pcs..only 2 of them we use in a week then in next day..the chicken breast for a nice sweet and sour dinner/or mix with some pasta..or rice..etc, mince beef or pork for spaghetti.. and stuff
    and the main secret is i first feed them and i eat last and whatever is left specially meat...the husband enjoy it and the vegetables bit..is my dinner with some spuds or rice
