I love a challenge! Things are financially tight and I have to focus on saving every penny to pay for the house and car insurance; the only movable budget I have is my food allowance so I'm cutting that back. Tonight I made my own version of carbonara. I used 120g of low fat cheddar (half price in Lidl) 33p, one pack of back bacon 69p, four mushrooms 20p, 2/3 of a litre of skimmed milk (I always buy UHT - it's half the price), two tablespoons of wheat free flour (the sauce never sticks with that) and a third of a bag of Tesco Value Penne. A total of £1.63 and I made five portions, three of which are in freezer tubs and of course, in the freezer. We ate ours with two sliced tomatoes each.

| Add the milk and mix together, heat through, stirring all the time until a smooth sauce. |
 |
| add the cooked penne - I get the pan of boiling water on and it takes as long to cook the penne as the carbonara sauce. |
 |
| Serve with seasoned sliced tomatoes (family pack from Lidl) and pop the rest in the freezer for days when I don't feel like cooking 47p a portion |
 |
| Tesco's own ready meal is £3!!!! I've never bought it, but mine just might be tastier and at 33p a portion a tenth of the price. |
