50 weeks here we come!

So for a while now I've been thinking about how I can feed my family of five for less (well, six if you include the pup!). Along with the rest of the population, I'm a little horrified by the rising food costs - and if you throw into the mix the other increases in our day to day living, I decided it was time to reassess our food shopping.
I've always been quite frugal with food - my children always joke that if you don't eat what there is for dinner, mum will make the leftovers into soup, known in our household as "Old Grandma soup". And I didn't want to start blogging about something that I wasn't sure we could manage - BUT! - for the past 4 weeks,we have managed the £50 budget per week which also included stuff like washing powder and loo roll, and didn't involve everyone eating beans on toast every night.
So here goes - family friendly, pocket friendly, tasty, easy, quick, delicious..... :) meals for families for under £50 per week - keep an eye out here  for some fabulous recipies and pics - and feel free to share your stories if you're up for the challenge too
