Let's face it, making decent food is not cheap. That's why we've compiled a bunch of delicious and healthy meals that are easy to make even on a tight budget! Enjoy and try not to drool on your keyboard.

So you see, it is possible to eat decent meals for cheap. However, for many people eating this cheaply is not a choice. Can you imagine living for £1 a day and having to budget for food as well as basic costs like water, education or medical care? That’s why this year thousands of people across the UK are getting sponsored to Live Below the Line- eating and drinking for £1 a day for 5 days to raise money and awareness to end extreme poverty by 2030.
