Frugal food

[Wizaard]

Cheese on toast - the poor man's pizza ... I'm off to the kitchen.

Cheese on crumpets with a splash of Worcester sauce for a bit of zing. Food of the Gods.

Also off to the kitchen.

It was a very big chicken.

It must have been a blooming ostrich for that price

Great value for money actually is ostrich meat. They're just a bastard to catch

That smells like smelly cat food and stinks the kitchen out!

but tastes nice

Maybe for 1 person! And £15 for a large chicken? Eh? £4 in Aldi!

I do like your posts but your lovely recipes seem more "lavish" than frugal.

You get 3 large chickens for a Tenner in Booths.
MrsDP buys 3 and freezes 2. Very economical.

I was a Heinz through and through, from a kid to a couple of years ago, then I tried a tin of Stockwell (Tesco's own label) after Heinz became inconsistent, a tin of Stockwell only cost 22p so I tried them thinking they'd be shite, trust me, they're great (no they're not Frosties), you should try them.

Will give them a try ,hope they work on the fartometer .

Maybe sell the laptop or smartphone they use to come on here so they can eat some decent grub is the best tip

Penna pasta tossed in butter, seasoning with grated parmesan cheese. Cheap as chips!

Sounds good, but I’ll take the chips if they’re as cheap

I’ve always thought scrambled eggs are pretty frugal cost wise and a cracking protein / omega fest

Beef mince, so versatile in the making of:
Cottage pie.
Spag Bol.
Chilli con carne.
Mince and tatties.
Mince & onion pie.

Don’t forget homemade burgers,mashed potatoes and sauerkraut.

For those struggling at the moment let me know and I will give you some tips for cheap nourishing meals

Beans(not the Heinz variety) and rice. I virtually live off it. You've got to know how to cook the beans, of course, but it's not difficult. Chickpeas too, great stuff!

Yep I always grab the parsons nose, an underrated and little known gem along with those two little circles of meat on the underneath. Not sure what they're called, but I always snaffle them up too

Had beans on toast today probably for the first time in five years.
Had the new fanglled no added sugar variety.
Tasted. Shhhh tastless.
No problem with making it healthier but surely climate change and world peace comes first heh.
