£85 or Under Weekly Shop and Meal Plan for Four
This meal plan serves 4, being the best with 2 adults and 2 littles.
This shop came to a total of £85 as of 04/06/2025 at Morrisons. However, that was for everythinggggg on the list. Already have some veg oil, paprika or baking powder? Save yourself some pennies! Popping to Lidl or Aldi?? Even better!
This is a baby friendly meal plan with a couple of amendments.
1st – opt for low sodium produces like soy sauce and stock cubes
2nd – if your little one is under 1, omit the honey and replace with maple syrup
3rd- anything too big/ choking hazard for babies, simply blitz like the granola or anything with chickpeas. Just blend until smooth and this should still be scrummy!
As usual, find a deconstructed meal plan, simply pick what days you want what and go from there! Also, recipes and a shopping list at the end!
If you have any questions or anything doesn't look quite right, feel free to pop me a message on my socials!
Happy cooking 😊
