Hi There
I would direct you to Weezl's thread in the " How much have you saved" part of the forum - its just next to the money saving arms. She has developed a prototype menu which should help you.
There is also a thread started by Penelope Penguin on this very topic - it should nt be too far down the OS listings as it was developed in the last few weeks.

Find out what time Tesco's mark up their major reductions, if you can get a whole bag of potatoes for 25p or a loaf for 20p, your money can go further.The person who has not made a mistake, has made nothing0

Hi Nordtraveller :hello:
If you can let us know what you have in your cupboards and fridge already , that would be a great starting point. This means we know what you already have and can use those ingredients to build on and create meals
I/m in a bit of a rush at the mo so will be back later with links etc (Or Pink will if she beats me to it)
Don't worry - I'm sure the trusty OSers can help you
Thanks

With one of those bags of stir-fry vegetables for a pound, a bottle of Lloyd Grossman Thai Green or Red Curry sauces for a pound in Lidl and those 20 pence oriental noodles I can make three evening meals for just over two quid.
A 500 gramme package of minced beef can be made into several different meals like bolognaise sauce, lasagna, a shepherd's pie or a cottage pie which should keep you going for quite a few meals as well.
I think Lidl have aubergines on special offer this week, so two of them plus a tin of chopped tomatoes, some garlic and cheese can be made into Melanzana alla Parmigiana. I make that and it does me for two meals for abut £1.500 -
Just for Martin

Hi Nordtraveller :wave:
It looks like a challenge! I personally don't know how I would do it but look forward to seeing some hints from some better informed people. Hope you manage ok for the next two weeks.0 -

Wasn't there going to be a sticky for issue like this. I saw it a few weeks ago, but can't spot it now - link anyone? So there is more than one Martin on the site who'd have thunk it!!!!0
