    Ok here are some things you can get for a week.
    Container of Oatmeal ( will last you a week or two)
    Dozen eggs, 2 eggs a day, you can have for bkfst, lunch or dinner.
    Get some vegetables, and if you eat meat and chicken buy one whole chicken, usually the cheapest by pound or chicken leg quarters. And Maybe a lb of beef and separate all that into a weeks worth of meals,
    If you eat rice, buy a small bag and you can add veggies to it, have an egg over it.

    good luck

    Thats interesting, I'm not really into dairy and can't really afford meat. But I'll pop too my local supermarket and see how much it'll cost! I love my vegetables, haven't came across one I dislike yet! So thats good. Thanks for the advice though! ♥


    Well that's great that you love veggies, Cabbage is usually cheap by the lb, you can buy a wole head of cabbage and sauté it with other veggies and make a stir fry.

    Check out how much chicken cost per lb, it may be $5-$6 for 4-5 lbs. you just have to check the price per lb. or whatever measurement they price it at. And that can be used for 4-5 meals for one person.

    Potatoes and sweet potatoes are usually a good price.
    For bkfst bananas are great and a good price. I can get 4-5 bananas for a little over a $1 and a banana is very filling.

    Ah, cabbage. I love the juice you get from when you cook it..lol. I drink it! But yeah, I need to look around and find out where these are cheap in my local supermarkets!

    So you just split the chicken up? Can you freeze the chicken? Sorry, I'm seeming right dumb. :ohwell:

    Ah, potoatos in the UK cost alot. They've gone up for some reason.. and same with bananas but I'll look about! :) ♥

    Bananas do not cost a lot! They are (or were) 68p per kg in Tesco. Although I think they have gone up a few pence. But you can get 4/5 bananas for around £1 so try tesco for bananas!
