Also cheap pasta, tomato sauce and some basil with chilli powder can be cheap and you can easily make about 4-5 meals with it. Also buy a big bag of potatoes. You can make homemade chips, jacket(from big ones) roast potatoes, mash potato and new ptoatoes and its a lot cheaper!!! | ||

rice you can just cook and pair with whatever other dishes. stir-fry is easy, cabbage and onions are usually cheap for the vegetables, add whatever protein you want. make twice as much rice as you need and you can use the leftovers the day after for fried rice after it's dried out a bit. just need frozen veggies and some eggs for that. can make rice into risotto and stuff too if you don't like asian dishes. pasta is easy too. protein + onions is enough for a basic meal. for sauce, if the jar sauces are on sale they're cheap enough. otherwise you can buy canned tomato paste and cream (since actual tomatoes are usually pretty expensive). can use the pasta for noodle soups, too. if you have an asian grocery nearby they usually sell bones and whatever meat is left attached for really cheap, which is really good to make soup out of. potatoes... baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, fries, there are lots of easy ways to prepare them. idk recipes are kind of useless. just go with basic tips. keep a decently stocked spice cabinet. only buy things on sale. go with your intuition about what goes well together. don't need to know very many fancy techniques or anything. don't buy stupid things like drinks or junk food. i live in a relatively expensive area as far as groceries go, and following those basic guidelines it's easy to spend less than $20/week on groceries. if you have an asian grocery or something like that, produce is usually way way cheaper (like 1/2 the cost or less) and you can cut it down even further. | ||

Cook rice. A bit of salt and oil. Cooks for like 21 minutes. Cook double of what you need, and voila, you have breakfast for the next morning. Or dinner if you made it for lunch. Mix it with butter, while it's hot, to add some taste. Add eggs if you want. Add tuna (not the most cheap one, they suck) and some cheese if you wanna get more fancy and spends some money. Sauce is more expensive. Pasta, pretty much the same thing as rice, but it's less good to eat later. Cooks like 11 minutes. You can fry it if it's leftover though. Fried pasta mmmm. Cooked eggs. You can cook/fry eggs serveral ways, but I don't like eating eggs too much. That's pretty much my meal most of the time. xD | ||
