19QOS19 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I would not be going to Home Bargains for chicken. Lord knows where they source them. Lidl do a whole corn fed free range chicken at a reasonable price. You trust the other supermarkets? We were eating horse for months without knowing about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 1 hour ago, virginton said: Pretty much everyone can eat less but decent quality meat. Tinned sardines are an excellent, cheap and healthy source of protein for pasta meals. Tinned mackerel (especially in tomato sauce) makes a cheap and easy protein for a fish curry. Cheap vegetable sources of protein are chickpeas and most tinned/dried beans and peas. Swap out half of the meat content of a meal with a can of those instead (chickpeas for curry, tagine etc.; kidney beans for chilli; white beans for pasta). Dried lentils are also a good option for soup/daal. A good mix of different frozen veg (peas are 60p a kilo - mix and match from there) is also well worth having. Aye we try to just buy 2 or 3 pieces of meat a week: something for Sunday dinner, something for breakfast at the weekend and maybe something for a Saturday night if we're in/having pals round for dinner. Usually get to our local butcher which isn't much dearer than even Lidl or Aldi in our experience and there's a better chance it's decently sourced. About £15 at the butcher last weekend and that got us two nights of spaghetti bolognese, roast chicken on Sunday and leftovers for a salad on Monday, and some bacon for Sunday morning. Need to get more onto tinned fish, have been tempted to get in on that Fishbox subscription as at least it's a controlled cost and again you know it's better sourced. Weeknight dinners are generally chickpea curries, white or butter bean stews, roast veggies with feta etc. Been meaning to try some saitan or tempeh as well but I think that's a bit too dear for what it is when beans are already there and are class. Getting in some peas, edemame, broad beans etc, even as a side, is a good and very easy to make tasty way of getting in veggie protein as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Tinned fish is an excellent food, high in protein and essential oils. Excellent for adding to pasta. Batch cooking things like pasta, stews and chili and then freezing them is great for saving money and giving you quick meals. If you don't have time to cook something then you don't end up ordering a takeaway just to get something. When it comes to things like meat you can save money by choosing, for example, rump steak over ribeye. Also, places like Aldi and Lidl usually have offers of five steaks, you can then freeze the ones you don't have for dinner. The quality is pretty much the same as any supermarket, in my experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I try do batch cook as much stuff for the kids dinners as possible as it makes life easier on school nights when they've inevitably got football/gymnastics/brownies/taekwondo and it's always a bit of a rush to get them fed and out the door again. As has been mentioned, chilli, spaggy spaggy bol bol, casseroles etc are an excellent way to make a large amount of food on a relatively small budget. I make a thing for them that's just steamed salmon, pasta, peas and philadelphia. It's piss easy and takes ten minutes. You could swap out the salmon for a tinned fish and it would work just as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave one to Romesh Ranganathan who thought they were taking the piss because he's a vegan (did you know that?) but he really enjoyed it. Did they make a vegan eat butter? Thats a bit shit surely? anyway, i fair like my slow cook bbq, bit of brisket, or some other cut, nice salt and pepper rub, slow cool on a wood or charcoal grill, get it with a nice bark. Off cuts (before cooking) can be minced and made into a burger, which I really love doing. You got yourself a bit of beef which will feed the family, any left overs can be chopped up and used to make a chilli, loads of pinto or red kidney beans. One of my favourite things to do. Also, i use a similar base for bolognaise as chilli so a big packet of mince can be used to bulk cook a decent chilli or bolognaise, gives a bit of variety. Just toast the spices off and add the bol and some beans (chorizo if you like that) and you’ve got a couple of meals from each pot. Agree re using a whole chicken, again, get it on the bbq, get some smoke into it, fajitas (the small flour ones from tesco are superb) one night, pulled chicken and chips with a bbq sauce another. Soup after (and with the smoky flavour it’d be superb). Im definitely looking more towards the low and slow stuff for meals, cheaper cuts that i can impart a lot of flavour into and make last for at least 2 meals each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really understood the impact. Actually is this just outside like type of normal bbq? Though my question still remains ie slow cookers in the house.
