Please help! Need super cheap meal ideas!

[Muppity]

Any pasta or rice based dishes usually come out really cheaply and I noticed that quite a few veggies were uper cheap the other day at woolies (although can't this minute remember what of course!)

The taste website has a whole section on budget meals with heaps of recipies. I would start there.

Pasta bakes
Fried rice
Rissotto
Sausage casserole
Spag Bol
Baked potatoes

Above are all things you can bulk out with vegies and use only minimal meat.

Fried rice
Potato bakes/pasta bakes
Casseroles
Pasta dishes
Chicken drumsticks/wings are VERY cheap and satisfying

Many of those recipe bases are cheap and easy not involving alot of ingredients.

Soaking dry lentils and beans (not canned) is a great, cheap way to make any meal go a lot further.

[Deedles]

I agree with the beans and Lentils. You can make curries, soups, burgers, nachos with these and add to meals.

Eggs are a great option

You could make soups and stocks from left over chicken bones, old veggies.

Homemade pizza on pitta bread
Meatballs and pasta/vegies
Tuna and rice/pasta
Corn on the cob
roast jacket potatoes with ham, cheese and sour cream
