1. Porridge
Not the little-flavoured packets – they cost a fortune and are full of things your body just doesn’t need – I’m talking about the big unflavoured flakes that take a while to cook on the stove. Do you know it only takes four minutes to cook two serves in the microwave? Best of all – it is so cheap.
I picked up a large box of Uncle Toby’s Traditional Oats at IGA for $4.50. I like using oats in cooking, it’s great to place them in the bottom of some pantyhose in the kids’ bath if they have a skin complaint – it’s great mixed with a bit of water as a facemask – so many uses – and so good for you! If you can get porridge on sale it can cost you as little as 13 cents per serve!!!
