shopping on a tight budget

[Readtheroom]

I'm making a menu plan. I need cheap recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner that are nutritionally balanced enough that I can still function!

I shop at Aldi so much cheaper!!
Breakfast - porridge is filling and cheap
Lunch- I usually save a portion of previous nights tea or have a jacket potato with salad
Dinner we do veggie in week, saves some much.
Homemade -
Curry - veg, toms, garam,cumin,chilli, rice
Bolognaise
Stir fry - veg, soy,rice wine, chilli
Soups
Bulgar wheat with veggies - add mustard and honey or lemon and thyme or soy.
Carbonara
Stew
Adding lentils to meals bulks them out

Also I chop all the veg in one ho and store in fridge so there not lots of prep each day. Chick peas and cauli are also good meal bulkers.

If you cut/limit meat it can be easy to do it quite cheaply.
