I can afford expensive gluten free food. How do I eat gluten free on a budget?
What I would do is buy in lots of big potatoes, some ground beef, some tins of tomatoes (get the cheapest), some bacon offcuts or a bacon joint if you cant find these (get the cheapest cut you can get), a bag of cheap chicken portions, a big bag of rice, some eggs and a block of cheese. Onions, garlic and mushrooms if they aren’t too expensive and some fresh fruit – apples keep well, so those are most likely the best bet. And a big bag of red lentils. You can put these together in different ways. A couple of pints of water, 1-2 handfuls of lentils, some bacon bits and a couple of onions will make a lentil soup that is really tasty. Once it is cooked (takes around 20 minutes simmering, stir now and then, once it’s reached boiling point), you can blend it to make a smooth soup or leave it as is, which I prefer, as it makes the resulting soup/stew more interesting if you find bits of bacon and onion in it now and then. You can also add a couple of leeks and carrots, chopped into bits abou
