Duenan@aussie.zone 5 months agoI’ve also done pasta. 89c for a packet of 500 gram pasta with a bottle of pasta sauce 1.89 a jar spread over a few days.
Add some cheap stuff like frankfurts and some veggies which are cheap.
That might have been my cheapest frugal eats that I’ve made.
I don’t mind spam!

I’ve got a one pot pasta that uses generic tomato sauce, cheap mince, and frozen veg or whatever veg is in season
The inexpensive sausages and franks are also good, you can even cut leftovers into coins and put them in a casserole

Ah cool.
I think best per volume bottles might be from woolworths for pasta sauce but they’re sort of I don’t know, tasteless?
Been doing the aldi sauces which I do like and are cheapish, pasta is of a good consistency there too which cook really nicely aldente so that’s a super bonus for me.
Sometimes I mix it up between franks and sausages and cut them up into it. Tuna also works if you like it, mince at Coles is down to 9 dollars a kg for the 1kg pack so you can buy one and split it up for multiple meals at the moment.
Peas are sort of a staple for me but green beans frozen can be gotten cheaply as well which works too.
Thank god I love pasta

Tuna mixed with mashed potato and baked with cheese on top is awesome. Steamed veg and dead horse to serve
