Thanks all - yes I could make cheaper meals too but it is meant as a guide for those of us who are not so in the know. They have over 4,000 recipes on the site and you can click an ingredient and it will come up with lots of ideas which us OSers can tweak to make them cheaper x

Thanks for the links- I've run into this site before a few times, but thanks to your post I've signed up for a couple of their newsletters

Really is quite a bit of info on all sorts through the whole site.

When we needed to cut our food budget I 'invested' in a slow cooker. Cheaper cuts of meat usually need longer cooking time and delicious stews can be made and 'bulked out' with winter veg. Especially good with winter coming up.
