My Holiday Hunger Challenge meal plan

  • March 14, 2022
Beverley is taking our Holiday Hunger Challenge in the first week of July. She will be living off a food and drink budget of just £2.50 a day to raise awareness of food poverty in the UK, especially during the school holidays which can push many families into food insecurity and poverty. With the help of wonderful people like Beverley, we can raise funds that will help more children return to school happy and healthy – and give parents a tasty time too!
Over to Beverley… 
Here is a draft of my weekly food plan. I plan to do most of my shopping at my local Lidl, and I may still have to make some adjustments. I am trying to imagine starting from scratch with nothing in my cupboard. This is really difficult, I can understand why families on a limited food budget would buy ready /convenience foods, as stocking up on store cupboard items, eg. lentils, stock cubes, dried herbs, to cook from scratch is expensive to start with, though healthier, more varied and cheaper in the long run.
