I was just browsing through the BBC News when I came across an article called Family £1 slow cooker meal plan
How we costed our recipes
We have stuck to a strict ingredient budget of £7 per person for the week, which averages out at just under £1 per portion.
We’ve based most of our costs on the smallest available pack size, meaning even if you don’t use a whole jar or packet, the entire cost is still included in the budget.
Meanwhile, store cupboard items like oil, salt, pasta and rice are costed according to the quantity you use, as they tend to have long shelf lives or be purchased regularly as part of a standard family shop.
If you click on the link above, there are recipes to follow (a different recipe for each day of the week):
Day 1: Mulligatawny soup
Day 2: Smoky Spanish beans
Day 3: Sticky sausages with marmalade
Day 4: All-in-one spaghetti Genovese
Day 5: Black bean beef and rice
Day 6: Satay chicken wraps with pickled onions
Day 7: Roast beef stew
Some of the recipes actually sound very nice and am tempted ...
