£50 for dinners or for all weekly food?
Do you count in cleaning products, bathroom basics etc.?
Asking as £50 for dinners is around £3.5 per day per person.
If it is all meals it will be £1.1 per meal per person.
That aside my go to dinner combinations are:
-Big chickens leggs and wings roasted with potatoes and some vege 🍗
-As above but with pasta, peppers and tomato so called "greek"🍗
-Breast from the same bird, can of chickpeas and curry/stirfry with rice and vege🍲
-Mince bolognese and pasta🍝
-Mince with beans alla tex mex and rice🍛
-As above in a tortilla🌯
-Mince pasta with mushrooms and cream🥘
-Home made burgers🍔
-Back bone thick chicken soup with grilled cheese sandwich🥣
-Full english🥓
-Sausages, mash and peas🌭
-Fish and chips🍟
-Potato and baked beans.🫘
Bulking up a lot of food with lentil or eating lentil soup for lunch.
For vege I only bought cabbage, carrots, onions and frizen peas.
One cucumber or sixpack of tomatoes or one letuce plus pepper every other week.
Cans: baked beans, beans, chickeas, mushy peas, tomatoes.
Breakfast: cooked poridge, cereals and/or banana/apple.🍌🍎
Lunch: ham and cheese or cheese sanwich with tomms/cucumber. If you like tune you can make tuna sandwich.
-Put sanwiches together on Sunday so you can ration food, just eat ham ones first and keep in fridge.
If you get bored do beans/tuna and rice. You can put any spice on that for a twist.🥪
Above is not super exciting menu but got vege,protein, cooked from scratch mostly and not super expensive.
