Sunday - have a roast
Monday- make a curry or pie with the leftovers.
Tuesday - Use the last few scraps in a risotto/pasta sauce or pilaff.
Wednesday - beans/lentils in the form of a curry or spicy stew
Thursday - cheese/eggs in the form of cheese and potato pie/quiche/egg and chips/omelettes plus bread/macaroni cheese/cheesey veg
Friday -homemade pizza night
Saturday -mince or sausages (cottage pie/lasagne/spag bol/keema curry/mince and tatties/sausage casserole/sausage and chips or mash

Even if you repeat this pattern you will come up with different meals each week

You don't say how many you are catering for but for the two of us
1 gammon hock (£1.39) cooked for ages in slow cooker with plenty of liquid provides

hot meal with pineapple ring, potatoes, vegetables and tomato sauce
salad meal with pineapple ring
sandwich meal on wholemeal homemade rolls made with Doves Farm flour @ 60p per bag.

Last week with the gammon I cooked
1 onion
2 carrots
brocolli stalk
2 celery stumps
1 potato
then when all were cooked added
2 cups cooked peas
the end of the previous weeks cabbage cooked.
all were liquidised and I have 4 helpings of almost free pea and ham(ish) soup.
almost free because the brocolli stalk, celery stumps and cabbage were surplus to requirement and in other homes would probably have gone on the compost heap.

More cheapies,
Chicken Liver (50p tub) casserole.
Bacon Roly Poly in suet crust pastry (baked) and made from a bag of bacon bits - then see how many other things you can make from the rest of the bag e.g.
Quiche
Cauliflower Cheese with bacon bit for extra bite and protien.

Savoury bread and butter pudding is always good for when the cupboard is virtually bare.
Loads of soups with bread/oatcakes too, filling, nutritious and cheap
