How to save money making this winter meal plan

There are a few places on this winter meal plan where you can save money if you are on a budget.

For the hearty vegetable pasta soup using frozen carrots or canned carrots can make a bit of a saving. This is also a great meal to use up leftover bags of pasta as a mixture of shapes really does not matter in this meal.

The keema and rice can be made more cheaply but substituting some of the mince for lentils without changing the taste.

All the meals with salad leaves can be made cheaper by buying your own lettuce rather than a bagged salad.

The sausage casserole can easily be made using vegetables a little past their best. Slightly soft peppers will not be noticed in this meal at all.

The fresh rosemary used in the rosemary and caramelised onion quiches could be substituted for dried rosemary if preferred to save money.

If you buy frozen leeks for the leek macaroni cheese this can save money but they do produce a lot of water so do strain them before mixing with other ingredients.

To make the baked oats more cheaply just try a different flavour with fewer ingredients.

How to have a healthy winter this year

If you are planning how to feel good this winter then you need to add a healthy diet to that. Whether you follow a weight loss plan or just eat a little healthier it should be easy to plan a healthier winter. A few simple swaps like grilled chicken instead of fried chicken could make all the difference.

Soup is always a popular winter meal but not always filling. Pasta soups can help and become a staple on your winter meal plan alongside the classic beef stew.

Are you starting the day with a healthy filling breakfast? Try overnight oats or baked oats for a good start to the day as an alternative to porridge and I am sure you won’t feel hungry until lunch. Why not pop your tea in the slow cooker at the same time as you make breakfast to save time? Most recipes can easily be adapted for the slow cooker.
