The cost of living has been soaring and is only going to increase further as fuel and energy prices skyrocket. It's become vital for families to watch their budgets as they have to fork out elsewhere on costs and feeding the family can often be expensive.
With that in mind, anti-poverty campaigner Jack Monroe often details money-saving recipes for her followers to enjoy. She posts money-saving recipes on her website cookingonabootstrap.com to help those watching their budget, as well as on her Instagram. One of the easiest and healthiest foods she has posted is in a recipe which costs just 11p per portion to make and could provide an easy lunch for people.
The red lentil, carrot and onion dip costs just 11p to make and when served with pitta bread can make a simple and tasty lunch for next to nothing. Jack describes the recipe as 'a delicious and enjoyable way to sneak some veggies in using just a handful of simple store cupboard ingredients and basic ingredients.'
