Other Meal Options

Other meals we considered for this week were:

  • Sainsburys Basics fishfingers, homemade chips and tinned peas £1.22 for two portions
  • Sainsburys Basics sausages, mash and carrots £0.76 for two portions
  • Tinned meatballs in tomato sauce with pasta £0.62 for two portions
  • Chilli (made with Basics mince, onions, kidney beans and chopped tomatoes) and rice £0.84 for two portions
  • Vegetarian 5-bean chilli with rice £0.91 for two portions
  • Jacket potatoes, beans and cheese £0.76 for two portions
  • Tuna and sweetcorn pasta
  • Home made soup
Some of these were too expensive for our £15 week, but would make great budget dinners in a £20 or £25 week. Mainly we decided we would prefer to eat vegetarian than to eat cheap sausages or meatballs, although I think cheap mince would have been ok.
