Frugal Xmas Dinner For 6 Under £15 Total

Hello readers I have been having a nose around on the internet at frugal Xmas dinners and was shocked to learn that a 3 course Xmas Dinner for £40 for a family of four is considered frugal so decided to share our Xmas menu with you all and the pricing.

Starter
Cream cheese and Brussels pate served with salad and French toast

Cream cheese (Morrison's savers) 49p
Brussels pate £1
Bag of mixed salad (Tesco everyday value) 80p
Few slices of brown bread made into French toast (yellow sticker) 5p

Total £2.34


Main course
Roast turkey with all the trimmings

Large ready stuffed turkey (it serves 12 so half will be used Xmas day and the other half will be served boxing day when my family come to visit cost £10 for the whole joint) £5
Bag of roast potatoes (Tesco everyday value) 75p
Bag of Yorkshire puddings (Tesco everyday value) 49p
Brussel sprouts (Tesco) 49p
Pigs in blankets (I got these on a 3 for 2 offer when buying some party food for boxing day from Tesco) 0p
Bag of mixed veg including peas, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower (Tesco everyday value) £1
Gravy (Morrison's savers) 15p

Total £7.88


Dessert
Double chocolate gateux with home made ice cream

Double chocolate gateux (Tesco) £2

1 litre of full fat milk (Tesco)  44p

And to top it all off a box of 8 crackers (poundland) £1

Total spent £13.76

Did I mention that's for a family of 6. 4 Adults and 2 children (we are having Lee's mum over for Xmas day). I realize that a lot of it is ready made or frozen but in my eyes that works better in a few ways 1. less time cooking more time to spend with my family 2. more pennies in my pocket.


Much Love
