Meal Plan 3<\/h2>\n

And here we have our Third Meal Plan. Based around chorizo\/salami, chick peas and, of all things, dried mashed potato. Bear with me here, this idea is from Miss South on NorthSouthFood.com<\/a>. Miss South is quite a potato connoisseur, so if she likes them, that was a good place to start from for me. I have made all the recipes, and I can assure you, both the gnocchi and the farl are wonderful.<\/p>\n

Weekly Shopping List<\/h2>\n

You will need \u00a325.41 in your purse at the checkout, but the amount of food actually consumed (if you follow the plan fully) comes to \u00a319.63 \u2013 just \u00a31.40 per person, per day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The column headed \u2018left at the end of the week\u2019 is what you can expect to have left in the cupboard. You can carry that over to next week, or use it for snacks etc, as you wish. Use the remaining milk in the porridge if you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
