Hello! It’s the first official day of our Tenner Week challenge, as part of our ‘Back to School’ theme. As usual, the first day is all about making a menu plan to make sure you are going to be able to eat well for the week.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t looked at your food stores yet, you might like to try the quick checklist from the Sunday Stocktake<\/strong><\/a> so that you don’t forget anything you could put to good use.<\/p>\n

Once you have a more comprehensive idea of what food and drink you have available, think about what needs to be used up first so that you can avoid food waste.<\/p>\n

Next, look at your diary for the week so that you know which nights you’ll be out, and how many meals you’ll be having at home. From here, you can start planning your meals, remembering that some nights you’ll want something quick and simple, and on others you’ll probably have more time to cook.<\/p>\n
