[JuneOsborne]

We're having filled pasta.

Pasta £2.50
Spinach £1
Pesto£1
Peas 50p
Tomatoes 50p
Garlic bread £1
Handful of grated cheese, 50p

£7 ÷ 4 = £1.75 pp. There may be a portion leftover for a lunch for one of the kids....

You?

Wednesday requires speedy food that every will eat without complaint, so no judging please!

Frozen pizza £1.50
Breaded chicken things £2.50
Garlic bread £1.80
Cherry tomatoes 70p

Total £6.50 /4 = £1.65pp

No judgement here! I was cooking and thinking about how much more this meal costs nowadays...

£6.95 because DH is getting fish and chips on the way home.

cheese and beans on toast and a cup of tea. Approx 50p. Might have a fried egg on top, which would double to price

Lasagne - I had no time due to working to prep a homemade one, so grabbed an Aldi fresh one £2.69 (easily cheaper than homemade but I suspect will be distinctly meadiocre)
Garlic bread - £1.50
Mixed salad - £1.50
Parmesan - 50p worth

Total £6.19, or £1.52pp

Jacket spuds so quite cheap. The combination of extras pushes it up though.
Me, left over chickpea curry.
DH - ham, tomatoes, cheese, cucumber and gherkins.
DD1 - baked beans and cheese
DD2 - cheese, ham, sweetcorn and beetroot... Fussy buggers my lot. No one eats the same thing.
Averaged out it's probably £1.50 per person.

2x meat pies... £5
Cabbage... 50p
Carrots... 25p
Broccoli... 50p
Gravy... 10p

£6.35/5 people... £1.27
I'm expecting left over pie.

50p. A pot noodle.

No idea. I'm not cooking it.

I'm making a winter stew with lots of root veggies and about 1/3 pound of stewing beef but it will do us several meals, so I estimate about 2 Canadian dollars each for the two of us.

Sometimes I regret having leftovers but mostly it works well.

Homemade fishcake (from freezer) with oven chips and frozen peas. Guesstimate £1.50 per person?

Pasta £1
Meatballs £3.50
Passata 75p
Tomatoes from garden
Salad leaves £1
Cheese 50p
Spices 10p

For 4 people, should be enough left overs for one lunch

A couple of apples and some boil in bag rice with curry powder mixed in. Hot tea.

At least I only have myself to feed.

Cheesy bacon pasta

Value penne 30p
Smoked bacon £1.50
White lasagne sauce 59p
Grated cheese max 50p worth.

Total £2.89
Just 3 of us so 96p per person. Probably should do some greens but just don't fancy any today

I have no idea. We are having pasta bake and salad so I am guessing not a lot.

I forgot to add
Broccoli £1
Carrots 30p

menu for 2 pensioners
4 quality sausages (2 each) = £2.50.
2 Maris Piper spuds, mashed = 68p
Handful of mushrooms and same with onions = 20p (aprox).
Mushroom stock pot = 25p
Handful of frozen peas / carrots / sweetcorn. = 20p.
So posh sausage, mash, onion/ mushroom gravy and veg for 2 = less than a fiver or £2.50 each.
Nearly forgot the yorkshire pudding. Possibly 2 pence.

Biryani.

The equivalent of

25 pounds for fresh tuna. About 3kgs.
About 15 pounds for the sauce all made from the fridge and store cupboard ingredients.
10 pounds for the basmati rice. About 10 cups
Saffron about 4 pounds
Chopped salad about 10 pounds

Total 64 pounds for approx 12 servings for today including one child and one not very big eater. There’s also some left that will be eaten tomorrow by my son when he comes off night shift.

Sausages X10 (chicken but flavoured) £1.99
Potatoes 1/5 of a 99p bag
Savoy cabbage 1/3 of 60p

About 60p per person x4? Won't be any leftovers though and I'm using the oven so ££.

Doesn't include the oil, butter and pepper I'll use.

We are having sausages, mash and beans. Works out at £1.12 each.

Hmm the spaghetti was already in the cupboard so not sure.

Pesto... couple of euros, multipack of sweetcorn same and Parmesan, same. So probs around 6 euros for me and my husband. Daughter ate earlier, tinned beans and jacket potato, which will have been pennies. Although she had about two spoonfuls so quite steep really

Tonight 2 of us are having quiche, sweet potato fries & coleslaw. All bought at Tesco, clubcard offer where available.

Cost £4.70 so £2.35 each. No chance of left overs.

Tofu - £3
Green beans £1
Carrots 50p
A potato 20p
Curry paste approx 20p
Coconut milk £1.50
Pepper 50p
Noodles 50p

About £7.50 for 4 people

Great question!

M&S Best Ever Burger £2.25
Leftover roasted celeriac & few tomatoes, say 50p

Paella rice ~1/2 packet .70p
Mushrooms 60p
Chorizo £2.50
Stock cubes 28p
