Menu Planning
Here’s my attempt at a menu plan for Thursday 3rd to Wednesday 9th.
In order to maximise my budgeting, I plan all the food I eat, except I do leave some money for extras during the week.
Thursday: 3/4/08
Notes: Micro-omelette as I did in this bento (Bento #2). The oatcakes I refer to are derbyshire oatcakes, they’re really cheap and a local food to my parents’ area.
| Breakfast |
Just me |
Micro-omelette and wafer-thin ham |
| Snack |
For me |
Toasted Oatcake |
| Lunch |
Me |

| Dinner |

| White fish fingers |
| Chips and green beans |
| Cinnamon baked apple |
|
| Snack3 |
Me |
Yoghurt pot |
Friday: 4/4/08
Notes: Rolls are only bought in my house when needed as I’ve been caught too many times letting them go off. BP likes good sausages - I’m not fussy, but of course I’ll eat the good ones with him. I’ll be cooking the flapjacks that afternoon - BP loves them.
| Breakfast |
Just me |
Weetabix and sugar |

Sunday: 6/4/08
Notes: Like to start the day with a large breakfast. No morning snack because I’m at church. Couscous salad always made the day after I have the hot couscous. Always like to have a roast dinner, with all the trimmings. I love puddings and custard, so I’ll be dumping custard over a rainbow bun.
