How to eat for a week - on a tenner
Here are some cheap meal ideas that will eke out your money. Fourteen main courses and various sweet things that you could have for breakfast, also drinks, with a shopping list that should come to about a tenner.
14 Savoury Meals
Cheesy beans on toast - bread, beans and cheese slices
Nachos - beans, fresh tomatoes and onion chopped, tortillas, cheese
Veggie soup - any veggies you fancy, with broken pasta for bulk
Spaghetti with bolognese sauce - add mince if desired
Pizza - buy a cheap pizza and add cheese and veggies to the top
Pasta with beans, tinned tomato and onion chopped, for sauce.
Fish fingers and oven chips (or potato croquettes)
Stir fried mixed vegetables
Spanish omelette (can be made with frozen peas if need be)
Toasted sandwiches with cheese slices, onion and tomato
Bacon, fried bread, peas and tinned tomatoes
Beans and hot dog sausages with oven chips (or potato croquettes)
Egg fried rice (try adding peas or chopped onion)
Pancakes with rice, mince or vegetable filling
Puddings or breakfast
Porridge
Variety of cheap fresh fruit
Pancakes with sugar and lemon
Toast and Jam
Sponge cake with Jam
Drinks
Tea
Squash
Other Ideas (not in the shopping list)
If you fancy something different...
Frozen cottage pies with chips, beans, peas or tomatoes
Stuffed vegetables (peppers or marrows work best)
Savoury rice made with stock cube or spices and sultanas
Baked potato with various fillings
Orange juice and lemonade
All of the meals can be adapted fairly easily for vegetarians.
The Shopping List:
Get all of these as cheaply as possible, of course!
Cheese slices, 4 tins of baked beans, 1 loaf sliced bread (you can freeze it and thaw slices as needed), dried spaghetti, bolognese sauce, mince, cheese and tomato pizza, oats, dried pasta shells, 2 tins of tomatoes, fish fingers, oven chips (or potato croquettes, whatever is cheapest), frozen peas, 6 eggs, plain flour, cooking bacon, 1 tin beans and pork sausages, rice, 1 jar jam, sugar, cooking oil, 2 pints milk, teabags, orange squash.
Also get some fresh vegetables: onions, tomatoes, and other vegetables suitable for throwing into a stirfry or making soup, e.g. carrots, celery, marrow, mushrooms, whatever is available and affordable.
Get one lemon (for the pancakes) and any fresh fruit you want for snacks or breakfast.
This should give you a fairly balanced and varied diet - and cost about a tenner!
