Veg Curry is great made with frozen veg and red lentils served with rice. I lived on that for ages as a student and now I am making it again. Lentils are great as they are cheap and very good for you. I just boil the lentils in water, cook some mixed veg, add the two together with a chopped onion and curry powder. You can make it go further by adding a can of chopped toms and it is a dish that freezes well too.
I eat alot of pasta, rice and spuds and it can get boring but I try to vary the meals as much as pos. When I have beef mince sometimes I make a Shepard's Pie but topped with mashed swede to make it abit different. Another cheap meal I have made is a Corned Beef Stew which is just some veg cooked in a can of toms with herbs and some Worcester sauce added to it. I then add in near the end of cooking that through chopped chunks of lean corned beef from a small can. One of my mates thought it would be disgusting but she really liked it when she tasted some I'd made.Miss Moneybags0 -

Hi Jolaaled,
We have very similar menus to you, as my son is veggie, and we tend to follow suit.0 -
Thank you everyone. I'll try and do a menu planner again I did do one but that was having things like tortillas but as I said I haven't had much luck with this flour. I will keep trying though and if all else fails I'll buy some noodles as long as I can eat them.0
