5 Meals for £20 - Budget Ocado Meal Plan
This week I really shook things up! We went to Ocado for our 5 meals for £20! I had a 25% voucher... which was £15 off so my total food shop only came to :45! (You can watch the whole food shop here)
You can read Week One's menu here!
Ocado Budget Meal plan
The £20 spend was BEFORE the voucher! So you could order the exact same from Ocado today and spend £19.85. I did feel very posh shopping there this week... I'm usually an Asda essentials/ Aldi girl, so I felt like I had just won the lottery having M&S food in the house! There was a noticeable price difference on essential items. For example, in Asda spaghetti is only 40p, whereas, in Ocado its 90p. However, I was really impressed with Ocado's deals of fill your freezer for £20 and fill your fridge for £5. I stocked up on lots of branded freezer bits that I would never normally get. Plus, Ocado is all delivery... which made my life so much easier!
What's on the menu?
Budget Ocado shopping list
Meal one: Spaghetti bake
This is my new fave dinner EVER! You can see the full recipe on my Insta. It is like a magical hybrid between spag bol and lasagna!
Meal two: Pesto, spinach and green bean risotto
My son ate the whole thing! I was so shocked, as he isn't usually keen on lots of food mixed together! I need to make risotto more often because it was delicious!
Meal three: Enchiladas
These came out a little crispier than I intended (adhd life). But they were still yummy! I used the leftover mushrooms, onions and mince from Monday's meal. A great money saving tip is to make sure you plan meals using ingredients more than once. In the past, I would have just made too much spag bol and ended up throwing it away. But this way, we enjoyed two yummy meals and saved money!
Meal four: Mozzarella and pesto escalope pasta
Another favourite of the week. You cant beat pesto pasta! Plus, those quorn escalopes are to die for! Also, I realise Adam's portion looks huge... the bowls we used out big but shallow and I did give him more than usual as he had done a mountain of exercise that day!
Meal five: Wrap pizza
I pride myself on being 100% authentic and honest on here. I was really disappointed in this meal. We have had florentine wrap pizza's before which were amazing! But I just did not have enough cheese left to make these incredible. They were edible still, but next time I need to check the grams of mozzarella before ordering!
