Can OH have left overs for next day? IE does he have a microwave at work?

I'd buy spuds, tinned toms, some tinned veg.

mince round with mash and veg, 4 sausages cut in bits in a casseroll with a tin of toms and tin of beans plus diced onion serve with mash. other 4 sausages cut in bits with onion and tin toms then added to cooked pasta.

A mince round is a savory mince pie so mince in gravey with a pastry top and bottom.

wow, the stuff you already have is what we usually get by on in a 4 person household !
maybe try things like omlettes with sausage etc
pasta bakes goodness id be spoilt for choice

You could use the peanut butter for chicken/prok satay, just mix with some soy sauce and marinate for a bit then cook.

4 pints milk - great use for pancake recipes
Mince Round - not sure what this is? if it is mince how much in weight. Allow 30g per person and bulk up with veggies
8x thick Richmond sausages - this is two/three meals - toad in the hole, sausage casserole and then a sausage pasta sauce or sausage and rice.
250g flora spread - get some oil in as well
9x frubes - for lunch and snacks
Strawberry jam - can go with pancakes or in cakes etc.

Cupboard
1kg Fusilli Pasta - so you need a few pasta dishes this week
Handful of rice
1 pack chicken noodles - enough for one or three?
10x oxo beef stock
Ahh bisto gravy
Dried mixed herbs
Lightly salted tortilla chips - top with some beans based sauce and a bit of cheese and you have lunch
20+ bags of crisps - blimey!
2x Tins tuna flakes - one of you pasta dishes will be tuna based.
5x Tins beans - add to casseroles, make a cheap chilli if it is liked. beans on toast? Stuffed pancakes
2x Tins slices carrots - add to mince
5x Biscuits (Will do son's snack at school)
2x Angel delight packs
1x Jelly mix
5x Bananas
2x Small onions
Salt + Pepper
1/2 loaf of bread!


Basically looking for a few recipe ideas and what would be the best way to spend the £10 i will have today.

OH Needs lunch to take into work and needs Dinner
DS Needs breakfast and Dinner
And I'm just Dinner

Any help greatly appreciated

You need bread, potatoes, more cheap bulk veggies, tinned tomaotes, eggs, flour and raising agent (yeast or baking powder depending on your recipes) and lentils. A bit of cheese or some bacon bits would be nice.

Mince with tatties and carrots or cottage pie loaded with veggies and lentils
The rest of the mince with beans as a chilli
If any of the above left over, bulk up and use in stuffed pancakes.
toad in the hole (pancake mix) - make the sausages into two
Sausage casserole
pasta or pasta bake with last two sausages.
tuna based sauce with pasta.

Jackets and beans.
Sausage casserole with five sausages(2 each and one for DS), half fried onion, stock, tin of chopped carrots, herbs. Could have pasta or potatoes in it.
Angel delight for pud.
Buy a cheap bag of oats for breakfasts, can get a 500g bag for 39p at Lidl. Could add half a chopped ripe banana and make it with water, veryyyy tasty and cheap. Lidl also have cabbages on offer for 29p, with the special offer bacon and some mash could do a really tasty filling dinner.
Good luck!
