Another week, another brand new weekly meal plan to help save your midweek sanity!
Meal Plan 20 features a variety of favourite classics as well as some newer meal ideas to keep life interesting! All easy, low cost and totally delicious.
With this latest weekly meal plan (number 20) we’re keeping life interesting by combining a few family favourite classics, such as Toad in the Hole, with some brand new creations, like Crispy Cauliflower Tacos (yum).
As always, we’re focusing on those low-cost and easy-to-find ingredients, and simplifying as much as possible for those busy midweek days.
BUT we’re also making sure there’s no chance of anyone getting bored, so that “What’s For Dinner?” question is always met with an answer that is welcome!
I’ll be sharing this meal plan on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, so watch out for the videos so you can cook along.
For reference, I shopped for this Meal Plan in March 2023 at Aldi and it cost £29.68.
Why use a meal plan?
⭐️ Knowing exactly what food to buy avoids food waste and saves you money.

Some tips:
➡️ Check for any items on the shopping list that you already have in your cupboard.
➡️ Maybe think about doubling up and freezing a recipe or two where the recipes are suitable, so save cooking another day or for the weekend.
➡️ Remove ingredients for any meals that you don’t want to cook.
➡️ The shopping list includes the cheapest version of each ingredient. Obviously if you want to buy lower fat mince or free range etc, that’s personal choice.
➡️ All of the recipes are to serve 4, so if you’re cooking for 2, simply halve the ingredients.
The recipes:
Dinner 1
⭐️ A brand new vegetarian recipe for you!
