We've already got the thread where we put our fave meals, but to combine with the Expenditure Reduction Tips, what are your cheap and easy meals.

Cottage pie:

Get shrooms and onion (as much as you want to use as filler for the meats) and fry it up.

Get the mince, and brown it off, drain the fat.

Add the shrooms and onion. If you also like it, get a small tin of sliced carrots or sweetcorn, drain and add to the mix.

Mix up gravy, and add to taste. Needs to be relatively thick, as if t's too watery it'll cause problems with the mash.

Make mashed spuds. Boil the spud until you can stab it with a knife and it halls off. Drain and add butter and a splash of milk.

Put mince mix in dish about 1/2 to 2/3, finish with potatoes, grill or oven until mash browned on top.

You can top with grated cheese if you like before grilling.

This mix with 500g of mince will make about 7-8 takeaway portions of pie.

This is just about the only thing I can cook. So if I can do it, nobody else has an excuse.
