Like us on Facebook for more Thrifty Food!

Last summer we wrote a post called “3 Dinners For Less Than £1 Each” for our Thrifty Food Series that was so popular we have decided to do another one! Each recipe has the cost per serving worked out for you. Please be aware that prices may vary slightly from supermarket to supermarket.

Dried herbs and cooking oils that worked out to a fraction of a penny were not included in the calculations.

Tip: batch cooking these meals will make them work out cheaper and you won’t have to throw away any gone off veg that you bought to use and forgot about! Leftovers are a really great way to make your money go further and most recipes work out cheaper if you cook them in bulk and save two or three servings for later.

Roasted Diced Potatoes with Asparagus and an Egg
