January’s Credit Crunch Munch

Credit Crunch Munch

January is here and I can’t think of a month that is more in need of some credit crunching recipes! Our belts are the tightest they’ve ever been so I’m relying on you all for some fabulous thrifty recipes this month. Personally I’d like to see more vegetarian and healthy recipes after the excesses of Christmas but you can enter any type of recipe, just a long as it’s frugal!

To entice you to enter Helen and I have a prize to give away to one randon lucky entrant (UK delivery only), Jack Monroe’s new book A Girl Called Jack 100 Budget Busting, Delicious Recipes which will be published in March (sadly I can’t enter the draw)! I first came across Jack in a Waitrose magazine article last year about her blog and her book deal and have watched her blossoming career flourish to the heady heights it has now reached. I think it’s hard to open a newspaper or switch the TV on without seeing Jack these days. She is a total inspiration for the way that she has managed to turn her life around from the depths of financial despair as a single mum by just being herself and doing what she’s good at. Every cloud does indeed have a silver lining and we must never forget this!

So on to the challenge, if you’re not familiar with it, it’s all about sharing how you can spend less or save money whilst still enjoying great food. Things to enter could be:

  • Dishes using cheaper ingredients
  • Cheap cuts of meat or vegetarian
  • Meals using leftovers
  • Meals using up the ends of packets
  • Substitutions of cheaper ingredients
  • Packed lunches
  • Meals that use less energy to cook
  • Pressure cooking
  • Slow cooking
  • Faster cooking – less oven time for example
  • Batch cooking for the freezer
  • Sustainable foods
  • Food you have grown yourself
  • Meals from reduced food in the supermarket
