Using a weekly Meal Plan takes the drama out of midweek dinners. Stay balanced, save money and save your sanity!
This is the second weekly meal plan I’ve shared on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, and so many of you asked for all of the info in one place, so here it is! (I’ll add the first meal plan here next week so you can refer back).
For reference, I shopped for this Meal Plan in March 2022 at Aldi and it cost £33.18.

Monday:
Chicken Kebabs with Homemade Chips and Salad
(Click the link above to go to the recipe)
Make homemade chips by chopping 1kg of potatoes into chips. Toss with 2 tbsp Oil and 2tsp Paprika. Bake at 200C for about 45 minutes or until crispy.
Make a Tzatziki with 250g of yoghurt plus half of a cucumber grated (squeeze the water out with your hands). Mix together with salt and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
I like to cook my kebabs on a grill rack in the oven whilst the chips are cooking. They will take about 25 minutes. Check they are full cooked through before serving.
NOTE: If you want to be super organised and save energy you can bake your potatoes ready for tomorrow and store in the fridge overnight.
Tuesday:
Loaded Potato Skins with Chopped Salad
(Click the link above to go to the recipe)
I omitted the egg from the Loaded Potato Skins recipe as I didn’t need to buy eggs for anything else. They are fine without.
I used 50g of the Garlic and Herb Cream Cheese instead of regular soft cheese in the recipe.
Plus for the salad:
2 Tomatoes
Half Cucumber
Tin of Sweetcorn
1 Pepper
Juice of Lemon
150g Natural yoghurt
2 tsp Honey (from your cupboard if you have it)
Make a chopped salad with the ingredients listed above.
Wednesday
Beef Keema Curry with Rice and a Cucumber Salad
(Click the link above to go to the recipe)
I used a red onion instead of white mentioned in the recipe.
Make a cucumber salad with 250g Yoghurt, half a cucumber chopped into cubes plus a tablespoon of mint sauce.
Serve with boiled rice.
Thursday
Vegetarian Enchiladas with Tortilla Chips
(Click the link above to go to the recipe)
Serve with tortilla chips from your shopping list.
Friday
Prawn Pasta with Homemade Garlic Bread
(Click the link above to go to the recipe)
I made homemade garlic bread by slicing the baguettes, popping under the grill for 5 minutes. Then flipping over, topping with a little garlic puree, salt and olive oil and grated cheddar cheese, and melting the cheese under the grill.

Loving the recipes. Caught sight of the kebabs one even. Spend ages trawling through social media but was relieved when I found it. Such easy meals. Just how I like them. You are much more adventurous with your ingredients… I’m giving it a go and the kids ( well most of them ) are tucking in. Thanks for the weekly plan. It’s really useful.( Won’t need to search now)… The ever present, ” what’s for dinner” dilema … You are a star XXX

Love the weekly meal plans and I hope they continue as it takes the hassle out of planning so thank you 🙂 just two points. 1) I was unable to find weekly meal plan 1 and 2) I struggled to find the meal plans under cheap eats – perhaps they should have their own tab on your website. Thanks again for making life so much simpler (and affordable) x
