I have not seen bread this cheap anywhere.

Yeah, it’s filling and I would like to see you come up with better for £0.06 a meal.
Poverty food exists for a reason.

Aldi, to be fair food was a bit cheaper when I was living on £600 a month, around 2017. Like £0.34 for about 20 slices. I think it is more like £0.45 now for the cheapest loaf of bread.

I dare say potatoes are cheaper than bread.
And you can turn them into a more filling, more nutricious and better-tasting meal with nothing but salt and vegetable oil.

You have to cook the potatoes or they’re poisonous, and buying and running a hob or an oven is comparatively pretty expensive in the UK. I get your point though, if you’re a bit wealthier, of course you’d be looking at potatoes or other foods - and it can get really ingredient cheap if you buy a sack of potatoes and mostly just eat potatoes :)

As a Brit, you’ll boil water for tea all day anyway.
Just put the potatoes in the kettle to save energy.

Good call. For a treat, you can take your part-cooked potato to your local library, then wedge the potato behind a radiator, to crisp up the edges a little :)

With energy prices in the UK being what they are, it’s only raw potatoes that are cheaper than bread. At least toast toasts quickly, so isn’t that energy-intensive compared with boiling a pan of water.

That’s why toast with crisps is the more popular food.

Yeah but that would take effort.
