I was tossing up whether to post this in the budgeting area or here, but I figured this was the best place (I hope I'm right!).

Due to having to purchase several presents for birthdays, new babies, baby showers ect this fortnight I've gone slightly over my budget. In an attempt to pay ourselves 'back' next fortnight I thought I'd try to be a bit more savvy with our meals. We never exactly go overboard, but I know we can save more.

Anyway, I'm looking for your tastiest budget meal ideas. I have a few we cook that are cheap, but new ideas are always welcome! Please remember I have two little girls, so whilst I can spend a bit of time on cooking, I don't have massive amounts of time to cook. Slow cooker ideas always welcome!
