You would be cheaper doing green days. i would buy a wholemeal loaf and milk. Then i would have a couple of tins of tomatoes, beans, potatoes , eggs and a couple of packets of pasta and savoury rice.

You could make pasta and sauce, jacket potatoes, beans on toast, rice , sw chips etc

Maybe someone else will have some other ideas.

Jacket potato and beans is a nice cheap and filling meal on green. Buy some cheap pasta and serve with a sauce made with tinned tomatoes. Breakfast can be stores own make creeal. I buy sunnybisk (like weetabix) 36 for 79p. Homemade soup made with cheap veggies.
Hope these help for green days. I don't do red sorry

I use aldi's 19p noodles for lunch at work, bit of boiling water and microwave.
I'd also buy spuds, eggs and whatever fruit on offer - most places have satsumas or clementines on special at the mo.
I don't do beans, so a couple of tins of spag in tom sauce.
Actually for under two quid you could have all of Aldi's on offer veg as they're 39p this time - see bargains sticky at the top

are aldis 19p noodles free on green?

 

[Sophs]

At the mo my fave meals are Baked potato with cheese or spaghetti with Mushrooms dry fried and then I add some chopped garlic and sprinkle some parmasan over...It's soooooo yummy and cheap

 

[Msblue]

no, they're 3 syns

 

[SpaceAngel]

Any noodles are free, its the seasoning that has the syns. So if you buy Tesco 9p noddles and add a bit of chicken seasoning then they will be free.

 

[Msblue]

Aha! So if I made them up with chicken bovril and added a lil bit of sweetner and chilli powder they'd be the same as my fave thai ones but free - YAAAAY!!!

 

[bettylollypop]

I never knew that about the noodles, that is great, so i can buy the cheapest ones and make my own seasoning with free stuff, great!!

 

[Circes]

If you're near an Aldi they have carrots, potatoes, parsnips and satsumas on sale at 39p a bag. Other options would be soups for lunch or how about a potato curry for dinner? Get some eggs and you could do a potato frittata for your lunch.

 

[Laurie]

mug shots, bathcellors rice is on offer @ the mo, low fat supernoodles are free, eggs and if you want something sweet buy sum pudding rice and skimmed milk make sum rice pudding...X
