THE £250 FAMILY FOOD MONTH 🤍

A simple 4-week budget meal planner designed to help make feeding a family of four easier, more organised and more affordable.

If you’re fed up with spending a fortune on groceries and still wondering “what are we having for dinner?”, I’ve done the planning for you.

This digital planner contains four weeks of normal, family-friendly meals built around a £250 monthly food-budget framework.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

✓ 4-week family meal plan
✓ 28 family dinners
✓ Exact ingredient quantities
✓ Full recipes and cooking instructions
✓ Slow-cooker meals
✓ Batch-cook meals
✓ Breakfast ideas and quantities
✓ Lunch and packed-lunch ideas
✓ Monthly shopping quantities
✓ Leftover planning
✓ Freezer guidance
✓ Budget breakdown
✓ Batch-prep checklist
✓ Reusable blank weekly planner

REAL FAMILY FOOD

You’ll find meals such as beef & lentil chilli, chicken fajitas, bolognese, slow-cooker chicken curry, homemade pizza, sausage casserole, BBQ pulled chicken, chicken stew, tuna pasta bake, cottage pie and more.

The recipes use inexpensive ingredients repeatedly throughout the month to help reduce food waste and make your shopping go further.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The quantities have been designed around a family of four — approximately 2 adults and 2 children — with several recipes intentionally making extra portions for lunches.

PLEASE NOTE

Easy to use meal planner! While not every meal applies to me (mostly interested in the dinners) I really love the principle of using up leftovers, and buying ingredients on repeat bit using is a range of meals. Also really like how family friendly this is, nothing too weird for picky eaters, nothing too time consuming or fiddly. A great resource especially if you're just starting out with meal planning!
