  Any dish that you prepare yourself will cost a lot less than buying it ready made in a shop or restaurant - so really all home cooking is relatively frugal. The recipes listed below are exceptionally thrifty but still healthy (sacrificing your health is not frugal at all!) - no meal should be over £1 per person and most will be less. If you are using some of our shopping tips many of the main courses are under 50p per person and the soups and dips considerably less. The recipes listed all feed a family of four unless otherwise stated (you can of course, reduce the quantities if needed). All recipes are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Those that are low fat are marked LF and wheat free dishes have WF by them.
