Saturday night on a budget

[suityou01]

Yes things are tough at Suity towers. Epic handbrake fail on Suityou02s Touran which involved a complete strip down to carpet level of her car.

So I though to cheer ourselves up, a little Saturday night treat. Dial out? Nah, expensive. Steak dinner? Steak alone is 10 quid for some non chewy cuts. Heading into takeaway prices before you even get to the veggie aisle.

So here it is.

1 chicken £4.50. Jointed, spatchcocked and halved. Marinading in Nandos Hot Peri Peri sauce, £2.

Adsa own brand coleslaw, 25p.

Uncle bens Mexican spicy rice, microwaveable packet, £1.54.

Frozen corn on the cobs £1.38.

£9.67 for a home cooked Nandos for 2!

Oh and two bottles of wine, £8 but hey.

And I'm boiling the chicken spine to make chicken stock, because that's how I roll

Food critics, flame away.

Pretentious moneybags, brag away.

£10 for steak? Is that for two or the whole family because £5/steak gets you into very good territory, not "non chewy". Up here anyway... but then we can also get a pretty decent takeaway pizza for £5 and a very good curry-for-two-with-trimmings for £12.

I knew it, Luton is expensive. I need to move somewhere more chavvy, like, uuuumm, Dunstable.

£5 per steak.

Curry order normally around 25 quid mark, main dishes being around 7 or 8 quid.

You're safe, I don't need any pound shop items.

If it's good steak that's OK - when we paid that at our local award-winning butcher it was probably as good as £25 steak in a decent restaurant.

Good job on the budget meal though, especially the 25p coleslaw. I wouldn't have gone the frozen sweetcorn route though - fresh or nothing if it's on the cob.

I've always found boiling bones makes gelatin. I normally save the wings and a leg and boil that with the rest of the carcass and a carrot, onion, celery, pepper and bay leaves. Or seaweed, ginger & star anise if I fancy something more exotic. But you need a bit of meat.
