Just found out a client I work with has £15 to last for a week's (well, 8 days actually) meals and I have to go shopping with her tomorrow to buy as much as possible but I'm blank on what to get. For info's sake she has a cooker and a microwave so enough cooking facilities but very very little in the way of staples - salt and maybe a bit of sugar, no herbs etc and pretty much no other food. She's not long had a 3rd foodbank bag so not sure she can go to them again yet. Can't get an advance payment on benefits yet due to something complex holding up making an application.
What would you buy and what meals would you make? (and to be absolutely clear, this isn't for me and I absolutely can't take any sort of donations so am not trolling/soliciting for anything)
