Thrifty Cooking

It's getting towards payday! The money's spent till then so we are eating what we already have in. The roast chicken made 3 meals..excellent value from one chicken. Tonight we had the roasted vegetables (the ones I cooked off on Saturday) made into lasagne. Very tasty indeed.
Tomorrow night I have late meeting so the third chicken meal will come into play.It's all ready in the fridge....just needs reheating.
Have resolved to be very thrifty all through October so that I have some money left at the end of the month!
