Recently, Lady T has been doing a lot of bulk cooking which is saving us a lot of time and cash. She's got some really good recipes, and has been using some neat ways of mixing it up a little to avoid boredom, like a mushroom ragu, great with rice or pasta, easily becomes the filling for a lasagna or the topping for a jacket potato. A lentil bolognese could be used similarly.
We've also been cutting down our meat consumption lately which is quite good to the wallet, and it makes the times we do have meat feel like a nice treat. Roast beef leftovers became included in a stir fry and bulked out with a load of veg. Delicious.
This is basically what I do and I feed the 4 of us all week for about £60 (at Tesco prices); this doesn't include Gaz's lunches Mon-Fri though. He generally buys rolls and meat for himself at the beginning of the week and keeps them at work.
Hello Fresh etc seem ridiculously expensive for what you get (to me). I eat 5-6 meals a day so I need to be tight AF otherwise it'd cost me a fortune.
