Budgets and Food

Bit by bit we're trying to pay down debt and even save a little bit of money. To this end, I have been trying to do one big shop every two weeks at a discount grocery store. In order to do this, I'm making a weekly menu plan that we will try to stick to - fewer trips to the grocery store = less money spent on food, I think. :) Here's the menu for this week (more for my own records than for your interest):
