Meal Plan and Shopping list for the week

In an ideal world I will include some recipes with this so you can use a similar meal plan if you so desire.
It is Sunday night and I plan to go shopping on Tuesday.  I still have a fair amount of meat and other meal bases in my freezer, so hopefully I can do a relatively small shop and fit it in the bottom of the pushchair and walk home after mainly music!  (hopefully that thunder storm comes another day!!)

Meal Plan
Monday:  Mexican Meatballs (Destitute Gourmet $15 meals book, pg 52)
Tuesday: Sausage + something + roast veges Pie (left over sausages and roast veges)
Wednesday: (Paul going out)  Chicken Stew with Spicey Sausage and Dumplings (DG $15 pg. 55)
Thursday: (Paul Elders Meeting) Pulled Pork on buns with coleslaw or maybe with mash potato (pulled pork in freezer given to my by a friend when I was sick, but she made far too much...sucker!?!! ;) )
Friday: Sausage Loaf with mash potatoes etc (I have leftovers that my sister-in-law brought to a potluck dinner...and then left behind!! Sucker! )
Saturday: (Me out probably all day) Lunch - Fam should come and buy sausages from Bunnings
Dinner - Nachos (left over taco mince in freezer, just add tomatoes and beans)
Sunday: (Paul and I both involved in Church Service) Lunch - Hot Dogs
Dinner -Chicken and Camembert Pie (left over cooked chicken, flakey pastry sheets in freezer and left over camembert)
Monday: Spag Boll (left overs in freezer, use up wine)

Last week of school before holidays.  Have a fair amount of birthday party food lefts overs to get through.  A little for lunches, a little for afternoon teas, a little for desserts.

Plan for holidays...
-"tramping 1 night"
-"Trains weekend"
- Working 2 or 3 days - easy no prep meal for those nights
-
Shopping List:
Franks
Hotdog buns
Sour Cream
Fetticini
cabbage

SO that's the plan for the week...can I stick to it... probably, I think it looks pretty easy.  Not too much cooking from scratch actually.  I wonder where I am at with the grocery budget this month anyway!
