How about large home made yorkshire puddings filled with veg and gravy?

Or a stewpack of veg for £1 - cooked in slow cooker with can tomatoes and curry powder - this can be eaten on its own or with pitta bread, rice etc.:):):)

Sounds disgusting

Tastes fine!

If you have breadmaker - or can make dough by hand - home made pizza is very popular and cheap.

A huge flan with eggs,bacon, cheese and onions is very populat and can be eaten cold or warm.

I have just made some lovely potato cakes and potato/tuna cakes.
The spuds were bogof at netto 2 bigish bags for 99p and the tuna was only 27p.
They are nice on there own or with baked beans or salad.

The cheapest decent meal I can come up with is pasta in home made tomato sauce. Boil up a packet of spaghetti (16p asda smartprice) Fry garlic in olive oil and put in a tin of tomotoes with dried herbs, simmer until pasta cooked and it costs about 20p max to feed 4 people!
