Our budget is approx £45/50 a week for food, toiletries and cleaning goods which I can stick to. However, from September our available monthly cash will be reduced, so food is one thing I'm looking at cutting back on.
At the moment we often find ourselves eating things like potatoes, sausage and beans (DD is lucky and gets all veggies with her sausages but to cut back we have a value can of baked beans), Lidl pie with potatoes and a small amount of veggies or something like value spaghetti on toast at lunchtime. I often eat value peanuts as they are really cheap with loads of calories and some protein and vitamins, or value biscuits. Nothing wrong occasionally with all of these but I'm aware they're not the healthiest options, so just wondering if anyone has any healthily alternatives which are cheap as well.
Also, what sort of things do you buy with protein, fruit or veggie wise which are cheaper options? We want a healthier diet, but needs to have enough calories as me and DD are underweight and DH is about right.
