With the cost-of-living crisis hitting hard, I’ve re-engineered some recipes so they’re super-cheap to make. Right now canned Kidney Beans are really budget-friendly, so they’re my bean of choice for todays meal. For the sauce, I use fresh tomatoes so the exact quantity can be used to reduce food wastage and save money. Talking of money, how much does this meal cost? Less than £1 for two!! More good news is that cheap meals don’t need to be dreary — zhuhz it up with toast trees (kids will love this) or some nice cookware 👀
