The banana bread for breakfasts during the week I am making tonight with our left over bananas from the week. There are enough to also make some banana muffins which I will freeze. The only purchased meals of the week are Saturday - lunch (sushi - my treat for doing the shopping!) and the evening meal which will be fast food as we will be at a sporting event. Our budget this week was $120 and we did not exceed it (so far!). Hopefully there will not be any unforeseen food or household crises.
Last Saturday night my daughter decided to make a dessert not on the list. She made a 'make your own flavour' jelly mix. She chose Fanta soft drink as her flavouring and it turned out really well. She also made some little pots of jelly to take to school for snacks - 76c for 6 pots as opposed to nearly a dollar for one pot in the supermarket. Hopefully that's a budgeting lesson she has learnt well.
Hope your week goes well.
Eat well, Live well!
Cheers
Susie
