Poached eggs on toast are a firm favorite of ours ans this only cost £1.10
I picked up some nice panini bread in Asda for 44p, and i had some lovely mozzarella to use up, soi mixed it with some parsley and seasoned tomatoes and they turned out better than any we have eaten before. I spread a little bit of red pesto on the one side of the bread and this was a good move.
Lunch came to £1.02
We still had lots if curry to use up, so I made some tri coloured rice, some chappati and a little salad, and it was devoured within minutes.
Chappatis are so easy to do, just flour and water and they make a great side for any curry.
Dinner 75p.
Day 7 total came in at £2.87
Which took my 7 day total to £20.40.
It can be done, but be clever with your meals, plan well and try and get your 5 a day into the menu.
If your going to try this, good luck and try and have fun with it 💗💗💗
Seriously!! Although meals look great & are healthy,there aren’t enough calories to meet daily nutritional requirements. I’m assuming it’s not a true case of feeding family for £20 as snacks would need to be added to this to bulk it up. I’m a family of 3 ( 2 teenagers) & this definitely wouldn’t feed them to prevent hunger.
Hi Dee, this is my true case of feeding my family, two kids and two adults, but obviously every family are different, I can imagine that two teenagers can consume a crazy amount of food. I am just pointing out that money can be saved and healthily at that. Every family has different eating habits and budgets to accommodate this, i have some families write to me and they have a miniscule budget and if i can help them, than thats a job well done. I am not a nutritionist or a trained Chef, but i am just sharing what has helped me, my family and my purse. Xx
This has been brilliant. The effort you’ve put in has been so worthwhile and shows just what can be done. Very well done. So impressive.

I have loved reading your blog. My husband is forever going out & heading straight to the reduced section so this is right up his street!! He’s so disappointed when he doesn’t find something!! We’ve had some cracking bargains & made some lovely meals but you’ve definitely given me inspiration. Thanks
