have recently read thread about how much people spend on their shopping and was horrified when i compared my weekly bills to some thrifty others. would love to cut back but my cooking is not the best and am (as we all are) strapped for time. Probably been done to death but does anyone have website links/recipes for cheap, easy to cook family favourites?

No links but would suggest
Baked potatoes
Risotto (home made)
Pasta
Beans on toast

For breakfast avoid branded cereals. Go to Aldi and/or have porridge/instant oats.

Make large portions of food at dinner time and freeze the leftovers for further meals/lunches.
