How to make this last? (Money related)

I am paid Friday 24th one adult one child. I have £90 left. This may have to include £20 petrol possibly, depending on how much petrol I use. I’m on a bit over quarter of a tank.. any meals ideas etc? Could you make this last until payday?

So £70 on food? Easy. Go to Aldi. Some mince can make spag Bol for 2 nights for 2 of you. 6 days of food for 70£ for one adult and one child is not challenging at all

It’s only 4 days, assuming you’re sorted for today, so that’s over £20 per day, or £17.50 excluding petrol?

That should be very straightforward, particularly if you already have some staples in.

£70 for food for one adult and one child isn’t difficult, how much do you usually spend??
