So far today, I've "spent" 45p and most of that was on a icecream.
This might be of interest to you veggie? Huh

Thanks Vinnie Big Grin 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). Big Grin

The sneakcy whatchamacallits! Rolleyes 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! Sick
Still, a few interesting recipes there though for a  'NOT on a pound a day' budget!  Big Grin

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. Big Grin
Lidl have this offer again but its gone up by £3 to £16.99 for 48 tins. Still cheap but glad I invested in January.

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.

Does that include consumables too V? Toilet rolls, toothpaste etc? I'd have thought you were already eating freebies most of the time.

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. Big Grin

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