    What an excellant idea, I think it can be done with a bit of inventiveness and a thorough scouring of shops available.I shall watch with intrest .I have some recipes in my Online Misers cookbook that I scavenged from this site ,so I think there will be a few people who once they get their thinking caps on will be posting their recipes

    Is that 50p per person? Or a total of 50p for the whole family?

    Looks like an interesting thread, I think prices vary around the country, I live in an expensive area, but it will still give me some new ideas.
