    Additionally porridge oats can be added to stews etc. They thicken them and increase the food value enormously.

    Lentils of various sorts are great as are beans etc. As others have said skip the meat.

    If you have a freezer remember frozen veg can be cheaper still and won't go off.

    200g of Frozen Broad Beans, Sweetcorn and Peas with some mixed herbs processed with a tablespoon (25g) of plain flour can make the basis for some good vegeburgers.

    Potatoes cut in wedges make a good replacement for chips if you like them. Bake for 30 mins after rubbing with some oil.

    Definitely check out the foodbank situation. And if there are any additional funds for support for food for you as you're pregnant.

    I could make it better myself at home. All I need is a small aubergine...

    I moved to Liverpool for a better life.
    And goodness, it's turned out to be better and busier!
