It’s the end of April and a lot is going on here in the Cirak house - where in self isolation due to COVID 19, we moved just a couple of weeks ago and I’m now homeschooling while trying to control a very housebound feeling 3 year old miss! Things have been super crazy, but amongst it all it’s now time for me to get back to my organised self and get meal planning PROPERLY.
So if you have been following along on the YouTube channel you will see quite a few weeks back I got a huge order from the local butchers. That order stretched much further than I actually anticipated and I also made some select budget friendly meals along the way that you can see here. In all, my freezer is very well stocked, so I have plenty to meal plan with and money to save by not having to buy.
My budget for my main shop as always is $200. I’m currently estimating that I will spend around $187, do be sure to watch the matching grocery haul to see if I stay under budget !
Some tools I used to do my meal planning were:
