My home made 'ready meals' - each pay day I pick out some recipes, go shopping then make them up into normal batches, portion them out and freeze them, I am on my own so it saves cooking every night and they usually work out at about £1.30 per portion, I tend to use them 3 or 4 times a week, doing this has reduced my grocery bill by about a 1/3 plus I can be lazy on those nights and spend more time quilting!!!!
