This should give you a sensible week of edibles, I have gone for one night of ready-mealness (i.e. fishcakes and no recipe is included because literally all you would do would be put them in the oven and use some of the salad or peas from the freezer)

All of the dinners take much less than 1 hour to cook and most under half an hour. The shopping list costs £33.54 for the week (from Tesco) without the store cupboard ingredients. If you need to buy these too (including whole packs of pasta/butter/olive oil etc.) it will be £42.89 if you add the booze too it will be about £55.00.
