Eating plans for a £1 a day

Have a look at this website. My friend lived on £1 per day through necessity and became very depressed at the repetition, as well as her final pear being mouldy.

I was hoping for some GN plans to save me scouring the web, but thanks.

Do you have any actual recipes? I was thinking of collating a few, to see if it really is possible. I don't mind costing them using a supermarket online site and I'll work out the nutritional value from my carbs and calories book.

The trouble with a family size spag bol is that you'd have to freeze the remainder if you're on your own or a couple and some people don't have freezers.

A free range egg currently costs 17p at Tesco. I had two for breakfast plus an orange, so I'm already over-budget, if I were aiming for a £1 a day.

I don't eat baked beans or potatoes of any sort because they're so high in carbs, but I guess they're OK for most people.

It’s probably possible to eat on £1 a day, but I think it would take a decent initial outlay. For example the latest Tesco (?) ad shows a family size spag bol costing £3.85 so 1/6 of that would be 60odd pence. An egg, once you’ve bought a pack on a slice of toast, or half a tin of baked beans in a jacket potato and that good old standby - home made soups from whatever’s at hand?
