• Bread
• Egg Noodles
• Crackers
• Tea
• Coffee
• Apples, Bananas, Oranges, Melons and Strawberries
• Broccoli, coli flower, onions, bell peppers (paprika), carrots
• WATER! (especially table spoon sugar to 1 litre water)
• CHOCOLATE!

You don't seem to have any protein in your list. Or dairy products. Choose veg and fruit that is in season and therefore cheaper. And homemade food rather than ready meals.

Good luck.

Oh yea forgot milk and cereals (mostly breakfast)


What's a great cheaper alternative to protein, other than meat?

pulses, quorn, and there's plenty of cheaper cuts of meat and fish.
