hiya, I'm new to this site & have been reading through some really useful threads about food budgeting and budgeting in general, both of which I'm already good at as my oh lost his job last year and then again on valentines day this year so we've been living off benefits at the mo. I just wondered if anyone had any cheap and easy meal ideas as with my budget for a fortnightly food shop being around £40 (plus £20 if needed for toiletries, cleaning stuff, wash powder, nappies and milk through the week) we tend to end up eating a lot of the same stuff as we always have the same stuff in the cupboards!
However, now my freezer's broken down so we're having to shop every other day for fresh stuff and its costing us a fortune (the fridge part still works ok). I just wondered if anyone has any ideas for something other than stuff like omelettes, spag bol, beans on toast kinda stuff . . . .
