Teaching the kid to budget!

Today we attempted to go shopping and feed our family, breakfast, lunch and a main meal. a day for 7 days. She didn’t do too bad just under £105.

For 4 adults and 2 children in the family home.

We’re having this week.

Breakfast: cereals; waffles or toast.

Lunch: soup and bread; noodles; sandwich or beans on toast.

Snacks: cake bar, crisps or fruit.

Main meal: Chicken fajitas; chicken enchiladas; pasta bolognese; sausage and mash; cottage pie; pasta bake; fry up.

The bill also included things like tea bags, juice, milk.

We went into 2 shops, Aldi and Home bargains. Explaining that the offer of 2 packs of baked beans (12 in total for £6) was actually a bad price because below was a 12 pack bulk buy of Heinz baked beans for £4.99.

So our weekly shop works out less that 84p per meal.
