I'm on a really tight budget at the moment, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for some really nice, really cheap recipes?

Hi Volcano. Love this time of the year as stews and soups are easy to make, not expensive and can be frozen in meal size lots if you make up a bit pot. Using chicken wings and vegetavles in a stock (packet ready made is good) for chicken soup is easy. Soup bones (beef or bacon) make a tasty soup. Add soup mix Pearl barley etc. to give a richer flavour to the soup. All this is healthy filling and easy. Cheaper cuts of meat (chuck, gravy beef or similar) are full of flavour and very good for slow cooking. Use a packet base for the favour (many varieties are available) and follow the suggestions on the packet. By adding potatoes or rice you can have a very nurishing reasonably priced healthy meal. Bon apetit!
