[QUOTE="Rosbif, post: 1116652, member: 273259"] When I'm skint I like to plan meals in advance so that everything is accounted for. Work out the amount of protein you require daily, what that protein will be depending on what you like and what's good value, and then build up from there by including in-season vegetables, fats, etc. Be alert to good deals on protein sources (in particular), short-dated meat for the freezer, etc. Frozen meat can be useful for stir-fries as it's dead easy to slice thinly when partially defrosted. I love certain types of short-dated cheese, such as camembert, as that's when they're at their best! Also, bacon that you slice yourself will probably be cheaper (it is here in France, and it's a lot nicer). As another poster said, spices change everything and it's worth slowly building a collection. If you're near Indian/Chinese stores etc then you can get bags of lovely spices for little cost. [/QUOTE]
