I plan my meals around the mains you describe here. It's just so much easier planning the menus ahead and buying what's on the list only for each particular week. Last week I had a moment of weakness though and bought a packet of chocolate chip cookies--LOL! They were the good kind...But what's odd is I make a meanly-good choc chip cookie myself, but got lazy--ha! Oh, well...back on the wagon again! ;o) As a rule I very rarely deviate from the list though, and because of that it does save us money. Your fish sandwich looks sooo good. We have fish maybe once a week now, but it's ages since we did fish sandwiches. Thanks for the tip! Hope you are having a great week, dear friend. Talk to you soon!

I try not to get impatient (truly I do!) when I hear people bleating on about "My kids have to live on sausage and beans" or "We have to make do with fish and chips most days.....".
