Are we allowed stock cupboard ingredients?

I'd have thought most people spend £5 or less every day, Jeza.

Shopping in Lidl. Two packs of pork mince which is on offer. Two packs of burger rolls, again on offer. A lettuce, some tomatoes and a tub of coleslaw.

Who eats 3 courses ? We have one and a bit of icecream or fruit if we are lucky ! have to be curried mince and rice followed by a choc ice (£1 for 8 in coop )

I don't know where you shop Svejk but I can easily spend £5 a day on my own dinner, let alone for 4 people........
