Including fruits, deserts, breakfast cereals and all the other sundries the grand total is £52.... that includes my meat all coming from a local organic butcher who delivers free and by buying the cheaper cuts. My kids have school dinners and I tend to just make a sandwich for lunch at work.

I admit I am very very lucky in that we tend to eat at my folks on a weekend which certainly makes a BIG difference to my budget.

Thanks.

They are both quick & easy

Piri piri chicken is made with a piri piri marinade from Alid & stirfried.

The pie is diced pork & apple simmered for about 20mins in a pork gravy. Put it in a pie dish & cover with ready made pastry. I use filo or shortcrust.

sounds great and easy! will definately give them a go. I love nandos restaurant and buy a bottle of their sauce from asda atleast monthly, its 2.48 most of the time though which is quite expensive! so will have to try that marinade thankyou!
