Help cheap meal ideas short on funds

[Cupcakeicecream]

Hi, I'm in a bit of a bind the summer holidays are expensive plus cost of living prices so its taking longer to save for a new oven. I have access to the hob as it's only the oven bit of the cooker that's gone I also have an air fryer and toaster. I'm fed up with anything on toast and need inspiration for cheap recipes like I say funds are limited I try to aim for about 30 pounds maybe 40 if I can spare it every week try and stretch to ten days. Any ideas. There's only 2 us.

Do you know that the oven is bust. I thought mine was but it was just the element and an easy fix.
Any likes or dislikes.
Veggie is almost always cheaper.
What supermarkets do you have access to?

Pasta and jar tomato sauce
Pasta and pesto with mushrooms
Omlette and chips
Chili con carne bulked with lentils serve with rice or nachos
Chicken Sausages and mash and veg
Poached egg on toast
Brown Windsor Soup and bread
Corned beef hash (Delia)
Jacket potato?
Spanish tortilla
Tinned soup and bread

Bulking meals up with carbs tends to make them more affordable, so if you're fed up with stuff on toast could you look up risotto recipes or pasta dishes? With those you can pick up a few different veg and maybe some mince and you should be able to get a range of different options.

You can cook lots of things in a frying pan that you might usually grill or oven cook, such as thin chicken breasts, sausages, fishfingers.

cook noodles/pasta on the hob. Stir fries. Omelettes.
couscous based dinners (pour boiling water over leave for 10 minutes…add chopped peppers, cooked meat etc)

frozen jacket potatoes aren’t bad. Beans in microwave.

Make a big pot of minced beef based meal e.g. chilli or bolognese. Serve with rice or pasta

Risotto with frozen leeks and mushrooms is quick easy and cheap add some stock salt and pepper

pasta a zillion ways

Dahl and rice
Stir fry and noodles
Vege burgers
Pot of chilli ( well bulked with beans) use in burritos one day (with rice and greater cheese in the wrap), on the next or another day have it with baked potato.

Use the rest of the tortilla wraps for ‘frying pan quesadillas’: Sandwich together two tortillas with grated cheese, maybe sweetcorn, anything you have or fancy, dry fry on one side til cheese melting, flip over and fry some more, cut in quarters.
