Budget dinners for one
Proper dinners for one at about £1.75 a portion or less: dahls, bean stews, rice dishes, soups and a few sausage suppers. The cost is worked out from typical UK supermarket prices for what the dinner uses, so it assumes the rest of the pack gets eaten too. Plan them into a week and the planner picks other dinners that finish those packs.
