If there's one thing I want out of my frugal lifestyle it is consistency. So when I have read cookbooks targeted at students or those who don't want to spend a dime on food I get frustrated with all the recipes that have some very specialized one time use ingredients.
What I need is consistency, consistent ingredients that can be used in multiple meals to create a balanced but cheap diet. Where as what I see in a lot of these guides is more specialized meals when all I want to do is survive.
What I'm really looking for is a 'student shopping list' for shops in the UK that list these cheap, staple ingredients to buy for a week. Is there anything like that? Specifically for Tesco would be great. Or just any tips you can give would be excellent.
