Hi,

I am skint! yes skint and hungry and thought that I could go to Morrisons and get their offer of food for 50p each item.

My hubby thinks this could feed us for a week so along with baked beans, tins of tomatos and a bit of pasta how could I feed us for a week on this offer (totals £4)

You could pad out the chicken pieces with more veg in a stew or a pie

The hamburgers could be crumbled up and used as a base for a lasagne or bolognese with extra veg and a handful of oats if you have

Sausages - same - sausage casserole type thing with loads of cheapest veg going

The potatoes could be boiled and then sliced and fried up in a big fry up with the sausages and burgers.

Any other ideas folks? I know there is also the coleslaw

You could coat the chicken in seasoned flour and fry and eat with salad with a few potatoes, or bread rolls.
2 Burgers and salad one night.
Pasta and chopped sausages with sliced tomato, maybe some grated carrot and chopped cucumber if you can afford it (this is one of my favourite easy suppers).

break up the burgers into a mince-based, treat as mince and add a tin of tomatoes. Cook some pasta, then mix into the burger-ragu. Top with breadcrumbs from the baps and a little cheese if any going, and bake for a tasty pasta bake. You could also do this with chicken or sausages.

Ooh, thread the diced chicken and a few of the sausages cut into chunks onto skewers and grill them perhaps interspersed with some sliced onion or the odd mushroom, and serve with bread rolls and some coleslaw. I'm going to try that one

You could cook some of the potatoes and then cut them up a little smaller and add to the coleslaw to have a more substantial potato salad, which would go nice with burgers on baps with a little salad, too.

Hope these help

Okay my take - it does need some extras though...

I am assuming breakfast to be cereal & toast - so you need to add box OB cereal and HM or value loaf.
You will also need Baked beans, tinned tomatos, cheese, baking potatoes, eggs, veggies of choice

For dinner:

Day one (in the big OS house):rotfl:

Burger, "Georged," or grilled - one each with one bun - lettuce and tomato, served with coleslaw. Served with fast chips, (basically Nigella's chips bashed up new pots - from Nigella Express.)

Day two

2 sausages each in onion gravy with beans and HM potato wedges.

Day three

Chicken pie - This will do two days if careful of potions

Diced chicken fried then cooked n stock cube enhanced milk - tarragon and cream enhanced if budget allows. Cool and pop into double crust pastry pie. Serve with steamed new pots and veggie of choice.

Day four

Meatloaves made with remaining two burgers and four sausages - skinned. Scrunch together using hands - gloves if fussy - with some spicy -ish brown sauce and seasoning. Make mini meatloaves, this helps at lunch. (Cold meatloaves and lettuce, tom, mayo etc work well.) Serve hot with steamed new pots (do extra) and veg of choice.

Day five

Spanish Omlettes - Previously cooked new pots, diced toms and onion with eggs. Finished under the grill and served with cheats garlic bread, rolls with garlic butter, toasted.

Day six

Lefover pie and mash with veggie of choice.

Day seven

Baked potatoes with beans and cheese

right this is my idea on that you just have beans, pasta and tinned toms plus the offers. which i`d get for £4.00 2xburgers, rolls,sausages, chicken, 2x pots, and little gems. im thinking this is probably just for evening meals for 2, could probably make it stretch if you have small er meals. im also assuming you have a few tins of beans and toms.
1/ burger and lettuce in a bap
2/ 4 sausages, beans and chipped or sliced potatoes fried or mashed.
3/ stir fried chicken on a bed of lettuce with boil or baby jacket pots.
4/4 burgers crushed and tinned toms, divid in to add and dried herbs and serve one lot with pasta.
5/ with second lot add beans and chilli powder and serve with a mas topping.
6/ 4 sausages sliced with tinned toms herbs and pasta.
7/ with the last 2 burgers either have in baps again or turn into meatballs.
i know theres alot the same but you are limited with what you have. hope it helps x.

This thread inspired me to go shopping at Morrison's. It was my fave supermarket till we moved the other side of town from it. The chicken is small, I'd be amazed if you managed more than 1 meal from it, but this is from a person who gets sandwich meal left from a joint- at best. If you're a dab heand at rubber chicken you may do better. I didn't buy it, as we live in a large market town and can get better offers on more chicken iyswim.

The sausages are thick ones, that I do think you'd get away with 2 meals of 2 sausages each if you were to have sausage, mash & beans/ sausage, egg, chips/ sausage cass or toad in hole. Can't comment on taste as haven't tried them yet

The burgers are lovely, really filling.:j We had them for lunch and have another pack in freezer.

I *think* the coleslaw was the 'light' version only, something I've not been keen on. If you have mayo in, I'd be tempted to cost a couple of onions, few carrots and a white cabbage, and see how much above 50p it comes to. If it's not much I'd make my own coleslaw and you'd still have veggies left over for another meal.

The tomatoes were big, firm ones and I got the potatoes as well. Never bought the other items.

Really interested in how you got on, so would love an update.

Hey

I was just curios as to whether or not the burgers do break up into a mince like consistency, are they not bound with anything?

Spendless

They probably would, as they are more like a butchers type of beefburger than a Birds Eye one.

i got myself 2 each of the burgers and sausages, my plan is to turn the burgers into meatballs and add onion, herbs and an egg to make it more flavoursome.
im hoping the sausages are fine on there own or they may become sausage rolls!!

The burgers are quite well seasoned already so it might be a good idea to fry off a smigin of one to taste before you start adding to them just to see what you might need.
