🚨 HALF TERM + EMPTYING FRIDGE + HUNGRY KIDS = 😳💸
Sound familiar?
Before you panic-buy beige freezer food and snack cupboards full of “just in case” bits… read this 👇
💷 Half Term Top Tip: Budget-Friendly Food Optimising
Following the Slimming World plan does NOT have to cost more — in fact, it can save you money 👏
Here’s how to keep it fun, filling and affordable:
🥔 Bulk up with Free Foods
Potatoes, pasta, rice, eggs, beans, lentils, frozen veg — cheap, filling and perfect for family meals.
🍝 Cook once, eat twice
Big batch chilli → jacket potatoes next day
Roast chicken → wraps, pasta or curry
Bolognese → pasta tonight, loaded wedges tomorrow
🍓 Create a “help yourself” fruit & snack station
Wash and prep fruit so it’s the easy option (and saves you reaching for biscuits while fasting or busy 👀).
🍕 Fakeaway Friday at home
Homemade pizzas on wraps, burgers with Slimming World chips, chicken kebabs — cheaper than takeaway and totally on plan.
📝 Plan 5 evening meals before you shop
A plan stops impulse spending AND impulse eating. Win-win.
Half term doesn’t have to mean blowing the food budget or your progress.
With a little structure, you can protect both 💛
