use your golden syrup, oats and dried fruit to make flapjacks fro snacks instead of buying any. Make small cakes with shortcrust pastry, mincemeat and lemon sponge.

Cook your mince with plenty of veggies, some of the beans, some lentils and 2 tins of tomatoes, use this to make lasagne for one meal and spaghetti bolognaise for another.

buy some potatoes and cabbage to make Cornbeef hash, Baked potaotoes with HM Coleslaw and tuna mayonnaise.

Use the brown rice, curry sauce and chicken breasts with some sliced onion, and carrot to make a curried chicken pilaf.

Use the fozen broccoli and cauliflower with broth mix to make a hearty soup and serve this with chunky HM bread.

Roast chicken dinner one night, with planty of roast potatoes.

Curried sausage and beans on toast. Cook sausages add tinned beans, some curry powder and some sultanas/raisins.

Packed lunches sandwhiches with sardines and salad, tuna mayonnaise with salad, Sausage and egg sandwiches.

You need to buy some potatoes, carrots, lettuce, tomato, cucmber and cabbage. I would also invest in some dried beans such as chickpeas and red kidney beans, great for bulking out curries, pilafs, stews, soups etc.

hope this is helpful

once you have cooked and eaten the chicken, boil the carcase with a couple of onions, then strain, add two chicken cubes to the stock with some red lentils, chopped carrots, onion and any other veg, add some chopped parsley before serving. eat it with home made bread

Bit of an idea for the burger relish - for lunches

Two rounds of puff pastry, place burger inside, top with as much relish as you like, and bake - great warm or cold for lunches.

Our local butchers has a hot pie counter and sells about a hundred or so of these every day
