Answer 1

Go vegetarian for a lot of your meals and make vegteable chilli, casseroles with chick peas and beans, and lentil curries. You will find recipes for all of these if you google them and pulses are much cheaper than meat.

Since fuel, energy and food prices have been hiked up my husband and I have two meat free days each weak and we are saving money while eating more healthily. I am on a diet (lost 4 stone already) so these foods are great for me too.

I buy vegetables that are reduced on their 'sell by'  date cook them into dishes then freeze the dishes.

Make bolognese sauce using tinned tomatoes, mixed herbs, carrots, onions, mushrooms and peppers all blended down in the food processor mixed with your meat.

Drain two tins of sardines - separate fish. In a pan fry a chopped onion in a little olive oil add a tin chopped tomatoes and mixed herbs. Put in fish and gently brin to boil. Serve with saute potatoes and green beans.

put plain yoghurt teaspoon garlic paste, teasp ginger paste half teasp salt and a tab spoon curry powder or paste into a bowl - marinade chopped boneless chicken for at least 2 hrs (overnight in fridge) then grill, serve in pitta breads with salad and raita (plain yoghurt with a little mint sauce stirred in)

Answer 3

You should become a vegetarian.  That way you do not have to buy meat which is expensive.  Just things like pasta, and canned beans and stuff.  But you still need to make sure you get all your necessary nutrients.
