Eating healthy on a budget

Options
So im moving away from my parents and have an apartment (im 19) and i have a really small, weekly budget of £20 (around $24-$25). Ive got breakfast and lunch sorted as i tend to have the same thing most days but im stuck on dinner.

if anyone has any cheap dinner ideas id be happy to read!

    Chicken is cheap and you can buy it in bulk and keep it in the freezer until you're ready to use it. Try making stews and soups...what kind of food do you enjoy?

    £20 (UK) is around $32 right now...but you're right...that's not a lot of cash...only $4.50+ a day. I agree with FrauHaas...soups/stews are gonna be your best bet. When I was broke, I ate a lot of lentils. If I had a couple extra bucks, I'd put potatoes and onions in it. I'd cook 'em in a Crock Pot with some bullion cubes and the result was a cheap, filling meal.

    Good luck to you.
