How cheap do your meals average at?
I'm trying to push down the average cost of a meal. One other plus besides having heavier pockets is that your diet tends to become healthier when you're not forking out for shite frozen meals. I have cerial or porridge for breakfast: You get whopping bags of house brand oats for under a pound that last a couple of weeks. Cerial for £2 lasts about one week, but is worth it for a change.
For dinner I go for bread with cheese and/or ham. Salami too as a luxury. Small French sticks for about 30p which are good for 2 days, £2 block of cheese can last a week, depending on other uses, and the ham depends on what you go for. You can get the better stuff for £2, again lasting a week.
For tea I still rely on packaged food a little because I'm only just getting into cooking for myself, though cheap pasta or potato based meals are one easy option. As I'm more and more acquainted with the kitchen I should be eating better and more varied food, for less.
Generally I'm learning to begrudge paying over a pound for a single meal, which in perspective is not bad since I'm used to living on frozen pizzas and curries and shit, which could be £2 a pop, sometimes more. On and no more fast food or take-aways thanks.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
