To feed my family on £1 per person per day

[Dramatic]

I've heard about celebs doing this and finding it almost impossible but really it's not that hard, I spend £25 a week (or less) on me and 3 kids. Am I a cheapskate or do other people spend this much? I shop at Aldi if that makes a difference. Maybe I'm depriving my kids by spending £1 a day on them. How much do you spend per person per day? Surely it's not that unreasonable to think £1 a day is plenty to feed yourself, why are people making such a fuss about it?

Oh I'm not very with it am I this morning!! 20p not £20!

Like Whois says, any supermarket has value range rice for 40p a kil. To feed 4 adults, I use 2 cups rice cooked in 4 cups water. That gives a decent sized portion. A 1kg bag has 5 cups uncooked rice, so 2 cups is actually 16p not 20p.

Dor anyone interested in cheap pulse recipes, last night I made chick pea and potato curry for 4

1kg potatoes - 60p (Aldi super six)
couple of onions 10p
tin chick peas 40p (Aldi)
tin peaches 30p (could use any kind of fruit, really, pineapple, mandarins, even a couple of bananas)
carton of passata 30p
curry powder, cumin, chilli 20p
rice 20p

Another meal for 4 for around £2, or 50p a portion, Add in some yoghurt and maybe a biscuit for the kids and it still works out at less than 80p a head.

Can't find any whole grain cheaper rice .
It's all white . That has as much nutritionional value as carpet shreddings .
Cheap whole grain anywhere please ?
