IA's Debt/Life/Little bit of Everything Diary...

Snaggles

Seriously though, I bet you could probably make at least 20 meals or so there by just buying a few extra bits and pieces.

You could make a chilli with the mince, tomatoes, beans and chilli powder (you could add onions/kidney beans too), and have it with rice one day, and use any leftovers to make chilli burgers, or have it on jacket potatoes.

We like burgers with cheese and pineapple too, even though they are a bit naff! You could make potato wedges to go with them.

With some added veg you could probably get 3 meals out of the chicken too - roast, curry, soup (if there's not quite enough you could use the chicken breast too).

And fishfinger sandwiches....yummmmm!!!

If you like quorn, it's cheaper than chicken, and nice in things like the cook-in sauces you have. It's on offer in Tesco this week too.
