right £35 to do 2 weeks shopping....

[Abz1982]

Me and my OH always eat out but now money is tight and when its tight we go to Iceland. We spend £40 on a shop and it lay us generally 2 weeks.

We buy:

A couple of their £1 pizzas
Kraft cheesy pasta ( it)
Big bag of sausages - I can make sausage casserole out I this, sausage sandwiches, bangers and mash the list goes on.
Chicken kievs
Garlic bread
Pasta sachets for nights when I can be bothered
Beans
Cheese
Cereals
Eggs

I've also started buying asda smart price gammon joint for like £5, I cut this in half take the fat off and put in a pot along with half a grated turnip/swede, 5 grated carrots, 4 chopped potatoes, and a full leak chopped, 3 veg stock cubes, 2 ham stock cubes some water to cover half of it and leave it to boil then blend, best soup ever especially when on a budget and can be frozen down, also extremely filling.

Hope this helps I know what it's like having unexpected bills eat up all ur money, I lost my job to being pregnant and we only have one wage so need to make ends meet x

Try chopping up, frying with some maple syrup and a bit of golden syrup and herbs till its just going thick - not brown then add to pasta and serve wth cheese...............very yummy! and cheap!
