Feeding Four for a Fiver: Exploring Affordable Family Dinners in the UK's Top Supermarkets | Lidl

I've embarked on a mission that I'm really excited about. I've challenged myself to create family meals that are not only delicious but also budget-friendly, costing no more than £5 for all the main ingredients. 

With the cost of living crisis at the moment, we are having to be more thrifty than ever, so creating recipes that are not only cheap, but also delicious is a challenge we can all benefit from.

And to make it even more interesting, I'm exploring all the leading UK supermarkets, next up Lidl with my Creamy Bacon & Mushroom Spaghetti and Garlic Bread.

Have you seen my other attempts? £5 meal from M&S, £5 meal from Co-Op, £5 Meal from Aldi.

The best part of this adventure is that there are no set rules on cuisine or dietary restrictions. I'm all about variety and trying out different recipes, so we're in for a culinary journey. 

Hopefully, we can all discover some fantastic, cost-effective family meal ideas together. 

Stay tuned for updates on my thrifty food adventures, and let's see how creative we can get with that £5 budget! 

Lidl is considered one of the cheaper supermarkets, so I knew this one would be a lot easier.

Now I am including a couple of items that you should already have in your cupboards at home, such as stock, salt, pepper etc.
