Okay, well I've got 6 (not 7) recipes.... (lots of pasta but keeps the cost down )

Spanish Omlette
Pasta Carbonara
Chilli
Pasta Alfredo
Cottage Pie
Pasta Amatriciana

I have put all the ingredients into MySupermarket and Tescos comes out the cheapest for me, I haven't included chilli powder, garam masala, oil or instant oats (for the cottage pie) as I already have it in the cupboard.

Costings for 5 of us for 6 days is:

Drum roll please.....

£19.35 in total
£3.23 per day for 5 portions
65p per person per day

:T

I'm sure someone will come along and do it cheaper but this is the girl that spent a little over 20 quid on one meal last night (and that was just for 3 of us as the small'ies had hot dogs and then it turned out that the bigger child had tuna pasta left from lunch....so 20 quid for the two of us then *rolleyes*.....was nice though ) So basically that meal last night, I could've fed all five of us for 6 days with 65p change :eek:

how lovely

and interesting that tesco came out best?

Hi susan! How are you?

Good thanks. My haemoglobin is up to 11.9 (normal range 12-16) and my ferritin to 13 (normal range 13-300) so I'm :j

Yes, she's fine now - thank you for asking. It lasted about seven weeks in the end. (Although it was hard to judge exactly when it went because there became a correlation between coughing fits and when she was told to do something she didn't want to but she's back to normal now.)

ps susan, fergies speech is getting better, I think he has 9 words now, so I'm really pretty positive he'll not get referred at the 18 month check. He's 18 months on 5th september

Yay for Fergie and Alice!!!!

Also how funny that she realised her cough might let her off some chores:rotfl:

Excellent - I was wondering but didn't like to ask. I recently found a piece of paper with Alice's words at 19 months and she only had nine then most of which were animal sounds: woof, bye bye, light, cat, roar, moo, jack jack jack, quack and sss.
