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 or increase the quantities if
needed). All recipes are suitable for vegetarians
and vegans. Those that are low fat are marked LF and wheat free
