Long time away, lets get back to it!

It's been quite a while since I've taken the time to blog. I've missed it! I've changed the title of the blog to "Healthy Meals on a Budget" because I still have a budget (we are being a bit flexible on the £50/month at the moment) and because I'm trying to lose weight.

So, lets get back to the recipes and the money saving shall we?

Today's Menu (for 2 people):
Breakfast:
2 eggs - £0.17
2 sausages - £0.75
2 slices wholemeal toast - £0.04
100g mushrooms (approx) - £0.15
2 Activia yoghurts (125ml each) - £0.75
Juice - 1 cup orange and 1 cup apple - £0.22 and £0.15 respectively
Total: £2.23

Lunch

2 slices wholemeal bread - £0.04

Grand total for Monday 8 October 2012: £4.55

That's less than one of us could get a take away for at one meal!

I will work on getting recipes up during the next few days and linking them to where they need to go. Thank you for your patience.

Have a wonderful day!
