Tuna Pasta Bake

 

In the oven, set on timer, to be cooked by 18:00.

Tesco ED tuna chunks = £0.75

Tesco tuna bake packet mix = £0.38

Skimmed milk = £0.14 

Frozen onion = £0.10 approx.

Tesco ED frozen sweetcorn = £0.06 approx.

Grated cheese = £0.75

TOTAL = £2.16 for 6 portions.

36p per portion.

Looking at this, I think the cheese is dis proportionally expensive and I will adjust next time.

FROZEN ONION

For a while now I have bought frozen onion.  2 reasons really:

• It is convenient.  Although technically more expensive to buy, it makes me more likely to cook something cheaply, and and not resort to expensive ready meals from the COOP.
• Frozen is always there and fresh, so to speak.  It reduces waste.  I have applied this principle to most vegetables and herbs now.
