CAN WE LIVE OFF THE STORE CUPBOARD FOR A WEEK??

Well the holidays are well and truly over and now we face January. Money is tight what with Christmas and buying a couple of major items for our beautiful grandson. So now we are looking to the next payday and I don't want to go into overdrive.
The menu for this week is all based around what we have in the cupboards, freezer etc.  In no particular order here is the menu for the week ahead -

Chicken casserole ( thighs from freezer) + veggies (fridge)
Quiche (freezer) + salad (fridge)
Chicken and mushroom pesto (freezer)
1 piece fish + fishfingers (freezer) + mashed potatoes and peas
2 Different curries + rice
Chicken stirfry (chicken from freezer)
Chilli (freezer) + jacket potato

I was hoping to get through without spending anything but I will need milk and a few veggies and also cat food as Baby doesn't do budgeting! Not too bad.
The bills are all paid and next week I have some vouchers I can use and then it will be PAYDAY.
Back soon wannabe frugal
