Got £1 and hungry

meat free savoury mince is only 65p in Asda and if you add lots of veggies you can stretch a packet to a lasagne and a cottage pie

Best thing that I have found to keep prices down is to find a friendly butcher and greengrocer
When we first got married they saved us a fortune because we only bought what we needed for a meal 2 sausages, a slice of bacon etc from the butcher and an onion , carrot and a couple of mushrooms from the greengrocer. Much better than the supermarkups and it was fresh and local

Just remember that dandelions are a diuretic. One of their folk names is P*ss-in-the-bed!
