Money saving recipes ??

HI
I hope this is the right forum ...
Further to Mr Oliver and Sainbury's new advertising campaign about feeding a family for a fiver ... can anyone suggest any other cheaper family recipes?
I have hubby and dd to feed and myself. I work full time and have about half an hour each evening to make food but I like cooking from scratch rather than packets if I can. Have been living off mince beef and pasta for ever and wanted some new ideas. Would love to read about tasty meals. Trying to hide veg in food at the moment too (hubby and dd!!).
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Carmen
