Where to start ?

hi everyone ,

Have been looking thro the threads and im abit overwelmed ,just dont know where to start ?

Here goes ,my partner had surgery, due to the reduction in household income i really need to sart being more thrifty with my food shopping ,before now i would spend about £200 a month on the shopping for two of us(I know I know ,its such alot of money) .This now has to become a thing of the past.

I would like to carry this on even after he is back to work.At the moment ,i try to cook as much as possible but do buy alot of things i can bang in the oven (am a full time student ,and i work very odd shifts) and have to grab food on the go .

Currently im trying to diet :mad: ,and would like to make healthy food that would be suitable for my diet and for his recovery. I currently shop at morrisons but am thinking i should switch over to somewhere like lidl or aldi ?

Sorry about the long winded post:D but any advice on shopping and recipes that would be appropriate for our situation would be greatly appreciated .
