To ask you how to make £30 last

https://approvedfood.co.uk/

That site maybe useful to you. Hope you're okay OP

Also frozen pizzas £1 for the teen not healthy but cheap

Buy basic veg (carrots, onions, anything else that's cheap) - I generally use a bag of frozen mix that's £1.50 for 500g, no idea if that's cheaper).
red lentils and a can of tomatoes, makes about ten portions of really filling lentil soup.

About £4 - and you'll have loads of lentils left for another batch.

Have a look at Feed Your Family for £20. They are on Facebook and IG.

5 breakfasts - porridge or toast or French toast
8 lunches - soup or sandwiches or beans on toast
4 dinners - baked potatoes and beans, chicken roast or mash, sausage and mash.

Leftovers for meals It is a bit repetitive but tasty. This could be I'm my meal plan

Plum tomatoes 40p
1KG chicken thighs £3.40
Veg stock cubes £1
Loose carrots 25p. (x2)
Loose onions 25p (X2)
Yellow split peas £1.20
Pork sausages x 8 £1.80
Farmhouse mixed vegetable frozen £1.50
Broccoli frozen £1.10
Wholemeal bread 50p

I plan on making a vegetable and split pea soup tomorrow for a few days and the freezer. Fry onions the a carrot and a few potatoes. When soft add split peas, stock and water and simmer on the stove for a while. I sometimes blend it, I mostly like the vegetables chunky. If I have ham I put that in too.

Sorry if this doesn't seem relevant , but could you sell something you don't need or use on Facebook market place for collection ? Give yourself some cash flow?

It can be done with some frugal shopping.

You can't eat wheat but I presume your daughter can.

Breakfast - porridge or eggs on toast.
Lunch - veg chilli ( just made 6 portions for about £3.50) with rice
Evening - jacket potato with cheese & beans
Other cheap dishes - omelettes, soup, stew, tuna pasta, rice & peas with fish. Jacket potatoes with almost anything. Tin fish relatively cheap , mackerel, tuna - chicken portions all are within budget.

Lentil Dall, I spent my youth skint but was able to cook on a budget , you just need to plan meals with left overs and bulk them out with fresh or frozen veg.

Get some chilli powder, curry powder & haldi powder - amazing what you can hash up on a budget

Find out what time your local supermarkets yellow label their food, it'll be fine to freeze.

What did you get in your too good to go bag?

Why surely?
That's not the point and I'm sure if that was the case OP wouldn't be on here asking for ideas.

Buy onion(s) chicken legs/thighs, carrots, tin of tomatoes, garlic, bread and some ham. Maybe a bit of cheese if budget allows.

Bake the chicken with carrots and onions and serve with rice.

Use leftover rice and add egg and onions and a bit of ham to make egg fried rice the next day.

Use leftover chicken and ham to make sandwiches.

Make a salad with grated carrots and oil and vinegar.

Make a ham omelette. With cheese if you have it.

Use the tomatoes and garlic and more carrots and onions to make a sauce to serve with the pasta (add ham or chicken if any left, and grated cheese if available).

Ideally hoping you've got a bit of oil and a few herbs and spices?

I don’t think this should be that difficult, porridge and fruit or toast for breakfast, omelette with chopped onion and tomato mixed in and grated cheese on top for dinner a few nights, some pasta dishes on other nights, buy some fruit for snacks, then you just have to think what you have for lunch, it should be manageable, you could have toasted sandwiches and salads

Because you can't afford for her to go on the trip.

Or there is that…

Surely you can put a £50 shop on a credit card until Wednesday.

This eve just me, and I made an omelette - secret addition : cheese. It’s filling, nutritious, and not too expensive.
Also cheap: for breakfast or whenever: porridge oats, make with milk, do in the bowl in microwave. Use Sultanas, another secret ingredient. Not sure how secret amy of this is, just things I do!
Baked potatoes, I like using humus as a filling - easy to make from tin of chickpeas, but maybe easier to just buy unless you already have tahini.
Soup made eg with a tin of chickpeas, lentils, just search soup recipes on line to align with the ingredients you have.

These are just a few cheap ideas. Avoid meat!

No, don't do this! I have them quite regularly as I used to be a FareShare manager and food waste is my bugbear. I paid 7 quid for two from Costa the other night thinking I could feed the kids and me with toasties and sandwiches for a snack tea and between them the bags had 6 pots of porridge and 2 basic egg sarnies. I had to buy tea on top and I remember thinking then that if I was buying because of budget and hoping to feed a family I'd be goosed! It's too much of a high risk strategy if things are tight. Olio is a better bet.

@Itsallgonesideways I didn't realise sorry just trying to help

My cheapies are:
Fried onion, fried peppers (those 3 for £1 bags), tinned tomatoes, any tinned beans and brown rice plus stock cube are quite a nice meal.
Fried onion, fry finely sliced white or green cabbage, add 1 cheap tin of tuna flaked, a bit of curry powder*, then water and stock cube. Cook for a couple of minutes then add in enough noodles or thin pasta for all of you.
It might sound a bit yucky but those cheap tinned sliced peaches in syrup are quite nice on porridge and make it go further.
If you can get a Greggs Too good to Go it usually as lots of lunch sandwiches as well as bread and cakes.
*If no curry powder, either coriander or cumin or both work.

Go to Aldi or Lidl. You can buy enough for a few days and eat well. Make a menu and then make a list from it. Only buy what is on the list and you should be fine for breakfasts and dinners till Wednesday.

You can get 5 tins of Heinz soup for £5 in Asda. Asda own brand is even cheaper -50p I think. A loaf of bread is 80p. A bag of rolled oats is 90p. Cornflakes 80p. You can very easily buy a large bag of pasta or cous cous for less than £1. Frozen veg less than £1. Mince, chopped toms. Make a vat of pasta sauce.

You don't need to be healthy in an emergency. You need to be fed.

Omelettes
Beans/cheese on toast
Pasta & sauce sachets
Porridge/cereals are ok for dinner too
Soup and bread

@red5678 You're not allowed to offer cash, you'll get the thread deleted.

Buy potatoes, Dried pasta, cheese, eggs bread. Milk porridge. Pesto. Some veg for soup making. That should be fine for a few days.

I could spare £20 if that would help you xx

lidl still does box of veg\fruit £1.50 daily early oclock.
