The most frugal meals are those you don't pay for.  This weekend is packed with them.  I'm making some of the meals, just not paying for them.  No complaints here!

B:  porridge with berries and honey
S:  fruit
L:  toast and marmalade
S:  fruit
D:  chicken casserole, potato and chickpea mash, broad beans

The freezer challenge:
bread for the toast
chicken
broad beans

The frugal factor:
see above - can't get more frugal than that, can you?


I have an overloaded freezer and have challenged myself to take out much more than I put in!
I want to make the most of my hard earned pension so am aiming for frugality in my meal planning and making.
However, I have recently diagnosed gallbladder issues (with an op at some time in the future), high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure.  Oh, and more than a few lbs to lose.  I like flavour but am aiming to go very low fat.  
Is it possible?  No idea, but I'm giving it a good go and sharing the 'journey' in here.  Thanks for reading and any comments you would like to make are very welcome.
