My big issue though is that there is a Wasabi on my way home from work, and I frequently stop for just £1 or £2 of sushi and pickles...

I make mine - and it's really cheap too as I use ingredients that freeze. I cook the rice drain and then stir in stock. I don't often use sushi rice - normal stuff depending on the budget - then stir in a stock cube, garlic, ginger and then roll it up in the nori sheets. I then wrap it in a clean tea towel in the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up, then portion it up into bags for the freezer. I only use nori, rice and spices - any meat, veg or fish would go manky I think.
I do all sorts of things - any left over mash n veg gets made into bubble n squeek potato cakes which are nice with value branston in your sandwich box. I buy cheapie 9p bread from morrisons and a 27p bar of choccie and make chocolate cinnamon bread pudding.
One of my fave things is making onion and pea bhaji's - amazing what you can do with a tin of mushy peas, an onion, some bicarb spices and gram flour. I made about 40 little ones the other day and OH wolfed the lot! lol
I try not to chuck any food out within reason.

hope that helps.........

Spent £5.60 on stuff for lunch this week - ham, cheese and pickle wraps (already had the pickle). What normally happens is a make it Monday and Tuesday, but by the end of the week, I'm getting up late, dont have time, and end up spending £5-£7 on lunch in town. Got to try and avoid this pitfall!

just been to adsa got a pack of 24 rolls, 3 packs of smart price sausage rolls (sausage rolls were reduced to 10p so 2 lots have been put in the freezer) pack of ham and a tin of corned beef also a bag of frozen chips so i can do stuff with chips this week without having to find someone to peel potatoes (got cerebral palsey which affects my right arm) so spent a grand total of £6.01 that should do 3 lots of lunches a day for a few days

I have just made my vegan cornish pasties, and they have made the whole house smell heavenly. The OH has scoffed one and they have his discerning seal of approval...
