Question

If you had £20 to buy food shopping for the month, what would you buy?

Answer 1

very little....but mostly economy range and cheap c**p so i could live.

Answer 2

ramen noodles lol

Answer 3

well i'd go to Aldi, Lidyl, Netto, Iceland, Farmfoods...so you can get more for your money, even if it is cheap rubbish....it's food.

I'd get frozen food aswell so you can make sure it doesn't go out of date.

Get frozen veg, several loaf's of bread and freeze them, soups, noodles, canned fruit etc.

Answer 4

veg, lentles and rice to make differant soups.  Potatoes, eggs,milk, bread but freeze it and only take out what I needed.  Then value range tins - a variety of.

Answer 5

Answer 6

A sack of potatoes,12 cans of beans from Lidl ,cooking oil, and as many cans of whatever i could get with fhe change ,4 large loaves and freeze them,you old live off  chios n beans ,jacket potato,mash and beans or whatever you had canned ,and chip butties.

Answer 7

look for multipack bargains of whatever will conjure up some decent meals like potaoes, pasta, multipacks of canned fish, you could also buy fresh veg to make a batch of soup, which can be put into containers and frozen until needed, another good thing for batch cooking is lasagne, with a fivers worth of ingredients you can make up to a dozen portions.

Answer 8

I would go to Lidl & buy cheap cuts of meat to freeze, vegetables for soup, bread, cheese, milk, potatoes & tins of beans etc.

Cook up the vegetables & meats to make tasty soup, which could be frozen until needed.

I would not buy any processed, ready cooked meals as they have very little nutrition but lots of empty calories.

Answer 9

bread chicken soup & lots of peanut butter peanutbutter give nutrian and you can surive with it

Answer 10

Concentrate on staples like rice and beans -- you can cook both in a variety of ways.  If you want to buy meat, get a whole chicken and cut it up yourself; if you make soup, depending on how many people you're cooking for you can probably get at least 2-3 meals out of it (the soup itself, and then pull the meat from the bone for sandwiches, creamed chicken, etc.).  Get some ground beef and use that -- it's very versatile.  Get a few onions and some garlic, and some canned food.  Check to see whether frozen or fresh vegetables are cheaper.  Keep away from processed/prepared food as much as possible; for the same amount of money, you can get far more food that you prepare yourself.

Answer 11

first i decide what i was eating what days and how much of everything i need to use (to survive)

unfortunalty living on this budget youd have to buy cheap but as long as you eat!

pasta  ÃƒÂ‚£3.00 (this can be made it bulk meals and set int he fridge for a few days and eaten for lunch)

tuna 27p x3(go with pasta)

tinned tomatoes 27p x 3(can be used as a pasta source)

beans 22p x 4 {can go with anything)

a big family mince £4.00(freeze or chill it to eat with past or on jacket poatoe)

bag of potatoes £2.00 (go with beans, tomatoes, made into chips, mash, jackets)
