Well the stash has grown as I've found things under ice - I may find the loch ness monster soon! Trying to use up different bits each day.
Think will target the green beans and parnsips to go with tomorrow's dinner. I think I will have to chuck the choc ices, had one the other day and it didn't taste too good!:o

Not sure if this is the place to ask questions, but I'm doing a store cupboard challenge in the sense I have to move out of my house and so am trying to get rid of all my random jars. I ahve the following and wondered if anyone can recommend what they can be used in...

Peanut butter
Tahini (sesame seed paste) - I already use it for houmous
Olive tapenade
crystallized stem ginger

Jacket Potatoes to have with Tuna or beans, look out for reduced price meat like mince to make some meat sauce to have with the pasta.
Good luck

Bacon is on offer 2 packs for £1.50 at sainsburys atm:

Pasta bake. Cook pasta, grill or fry bacon, mix together and add tin tomatoes and season, put in dish under grill with cheese on top. ( you can add peas or whatever you like)

not sure what "mince round" is..

After reading weezl's feed a family for £100 per month. I highly recommend getting some ready brek for breakfast less than 10p per serve and it's fortified with vitamins and minerals. It's much less than any of the other fortified cereals and useful for an afternoon snack too.

Potatoes are always cheap and cheerful. They can be done in so many ways.

Chop the sausages you have into peices. Instead of cooking all 8 you can cook 4 for one meal and incorporate the peices into something else. So I think you have enough meat and fish to last a week no need to get any more.

What if you pick up some passata approx 50p and some eggs? Could you strech to some cheese?

Dinner ideas

Sausage, onion, carrots and passata. Serve with pasta

Remaining sausages served with beans

Do you have chili spice - could do mince with beans and passata. Serve with tortilla crips. ( sprinkle over cheese if have any)

From my student days - cook the noodles and add to the beans and serve on toast.

Lunch Ideas

tuna sandwiches
If you can get butter beans then tuna, onion and butter bean salad tasty.
Cheese sandwiches of can get the cheese
Omelettes

Good luck, i think you will do very well if you manage to feed the family for £10. Looks like you could do a veg stir fry.
