Meal under a pound

For a cheap meal under a pound.

Seems basic but thats what im about.♥

Items purchased are from a well known supermarket ASDA, but there are others out there and most prices will be similar, as the large supermarkets are always competing.

If your on a tight budget try to plan your meals in advance. Looking at the prices and quantity you can purchase. Try to separate into days, working out to get a descent portion on each day also trying to reduce waste to increase your value for money.

Easy example Ham, egg and chips.
Pack of sliced ham ( £1.50 ) split into 3 meals. 50p per meal.
6 pack of eggs ( .90p ) , 2 eggs per meal = 3 meals at 30p per meal.
1 kg frozen chips ( £1.00 ) can make 6 portions at 16p per portion.
So for just £3.40 you have 3 days of meals at 96p each, with 3 portions of chips (fries) to use for your next meals.

When going out to your local pub or restaurant you could pay between £6 and £10 per meal. So why not try to just cook at home and save up to £9 per meal.
