If you live near a Farmfood store, then buy a carton of tomato passata and blend it one on one with milk. Microwave for 5 minutes. Makes a good emergency soup.

You can also use the 19p tins of tomato puree from Tesco (dunno is anywhere else does them?! Probably, but that's where I got mine!) and use 1/2 - ltr of the UHT milk.

I did this on Thursday and it really does make a quite, easy and tasty soup :T

My son makes a lovely soup from onions, passata and stock. Very simple and lovely . Fry onions , add them to simmering passata with a bit of stock then after simmered for about 5/10 mins whizz with blender. Very good soup, very easy.

Hi butterfly,

Corned beef toad sounds interesting - what is it?

TIA

Sausage Toad but using Corned Beef
Cut a tin of corned beef into chunks
Put into a roasting dish and put in oven for 10 mins
Make up a Yorkshire pudding Batter
Pour the batter over the corned beef and scatter a sliced onion on top
Bake in the oven until golden and well risen
My kids love it
Just a note don't add any oil because the corned beef gives out a lot

Hope you enjoy it x

My daughters' favourite meal - veggie pasta
1/2 jar Lidl bolognaise sauce - 30p
1/2 tin chopped toms - 11p
3 chopped carrots - abt 10p
handful frozen onions - abt 10p
2 handfuls frozen peppers - abt 10p
mushrooms - as many as poss - abt 50p
handful raisins - abt 5p
pasta - abt 10p
So that's about 60p per portion, which is actually more than I thought it would be. Still not bad though, and if I didn't have a mushroom addiction, it would be a lot less.

Farmfoods at the moment are doing litre cartons of tomato, sweet pepper and carrot juice for 39p. It's lovely as a drink, but can also be used as a base for borscht, or other tomatoey soup.
(just if you live in the Dover area, expect them to have sold out )

I found this in one of my mums hand written recipe books - Cheese & Bean Pie

Take a packet of 8 economy sausages and remove the skin.
Press into the base of a round pyrex style bowl, so it is approx 1inch thick.
Pour a tin of baked beans over the top
Top with grated cheese
Bake in a moderate oven for 30-40 minutes until sausage meat is cooked.

yummy with mashed potato for ultimate comfort food, and kids love it.

Had posted this on shop but don't drop but was advised here might be better.

I am going to do online shopping and I'm hoping to get a months worth of dinners (I prefer to do this so that I know I have enough food and don't have to worry about money for it). I am going to be quite poor this month though and was wondering what would be good cheap dinners? I still want to eat properly and have something tasty.

I got a cookbook for one recently which I've been using but its so expensive, costing around £6 for one dinner, at least. Finding it quite hard to cook for one person and keep the costs down (used to be two, was a lot easier). Any advice appreciated!
