Sparked by reading a few other threads I’m wondering how you save money on the food shop / cheap meal ideas & how you save money cooking?
Things like egg & chips (what else would you put with this?), beans on toast, padding meals out with lentils.
Another thread also got me thinking about the energy used to make meals. We love a hot baked roll in this house (the kind you buy pre packaged part baked) but that means turning the oven on just to cook 2 small rolls to go with soup.
I have no idea if it’s more economical to steam veg in the microwave, bake in the oven or steam/boil on the gas hob.
What are you doing to save money cooking?
