Quick lunch and dinner Idea’s for slimming world

Quick affordable meal Idea’s to help those on slimming world

Losing weight does not have to be expensive, we are a family of 5 and have a budget each week for our food shop which is between £70-80 so to keep costs down and get more for our money we shop at good old Aldi’s.

Another way to keep the cost down is to make a shopping list and STICK to it, you can see my post on saving money whilst shopping HERE.

I also get asked for Idea’s on cheap affordable meal Idea’s for lunch and dinner times so here we go:
