easiest and cheapest food recipes

Jacket/baked potato with butter, or with coleslaw if you can get it. That's what I used to eat a lot of, with a tzatziki-like topping of cucumber, yoghurt, and garlic. All cheap ingredients but really tasty!

Buy a big bag of frozen mixed veggies, some rice and some eggs, and you can have a basic vegetable fried rice for good protein and vegetables.

If you like soup, save any scraps you have from prepping vegetables (like broccoli stems, carrot peels and ends, bits of vegetables that are going a bit soft so you don't want to eat them raw. Freeze them and then when you've got a decent amount, make a scrap soup by mixing them with a stock cube , water, and any herbs or spices you have. Blend it up and you'll have a meal for a few days.

Toast is always a good go-to, as well!
