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


If you are looking for £5 meals to feed the family, or cheap and healthy dinners for under £5, or ways to feed your family for £5, then this is the post for you! 

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.

Sausage & Bean Bake with Roasted New Potatoes


Total cost: £4.66*

*The total actually came to £5.04, but my local Co-Op didn't have any individual onions so I had to buy a bag. There were 6 onions in the bag, of which I used 2. So if you use the price per onion, it comes in under £5.

Here are the ingredients I bought:


2 onions
1 tin of new potatoes
1 tin of carrots
1 tin chopped tomatoes 
1 tin baked beans

Mixed herbs
