Of course, I can, I make the Rules
Its £7 a week - any "savings" go into my virtual Chicky bank for a special occasion.

So far today, I've "spent" 45p and most of that was on a icecream.

Thanks Vinnie
Not sure I can "afford" £1 a meal though - I'd have to join your OMAD thingy. !!EDIT - I looked at some of the recipes and they cost has been updated to March 2022. The ones I looked at were £3+ ...........so definitely out of my price range unless I went to TMAW (Two meals a week).

Grab peoples attention with a £1.00 a meal headline then update it to two or three times that amount when you click on the recipe! What a swizz! 
Still, a few interesting recipes there though for a 'NOT on a pound a day' budget!

Still cheap but glad I invested in January.
48 tins of Tuna for £14.99 or 31.2p a tin - about half price.
Tuna is so versatile - in sandwiches, salad, jacket potatoes,fishcakes, pasta, stirfry etc. Those 48 tins will be one meal a week for nearly a year. Not bad for £14.99.

2023
The Moneyless Chicken is going a step further this year - for January anyway! I'm not going to buy any food this month but live on Freebies and whatever's in the cupboard & freezer. If there's still a lot of stores left I'll rethink it for February.
RE: The Moneyless Chicken - JJB - 02-01-2023
Does that include consumables too V? Toilet rolls, toothpaste etc? I'd have thought you were already eating freebies most of the time.
RE: The Moneyless Chicken - Veggie - 02-01-2023
They're necessities and rarely offered free - so I can buy those if I run out. Also coffee, sugar, butter and dog food, but I think I have enough of everything.

Apparently, the ultimate economy is using both sides of the toilet paper.
