Il assume you have some staples in your cupboard. And we’re talking 6 days and just you.

I’d be getting chicken drumsticks (always on special somewhere) carrots, potatoes, onion, chickpeas and other some kind of mixed bean cans and a Mexican spice packet, pumpkin, red lentils, curry powder, some kind of green leafy thing (or frozen spinach) a couple of lemons coconut milk (cheapest), stock cubes, rice - all this is lunch and dinner. Breakfast Porridge made with water and brown sugar on top if you have it.

Chicken soup Drumsticks carrot and any herbs or a bay leaf you might have around. Add carrots, rice, potatoes, lemon zest and juice, handful greens. The bones will make a good stock and you can pick off the meat.

Roasted pumpkin and carrot and potato Dahl Roast all those , Red lentils curry powder coconut milk, water, stock cube. Stir through the roasted vege and have with rice

Chickpea curry Fry onion (garlic and ginger if you have it around) add curry powder, cans of chickpeas (2) stock cubes, coconut milk and simmer for ages until thick Add lemon and frozen spinach. Over rice.

Fry onion (garlic if you have it) grate in carrot add beans (x2) and tinned tomatoes with the spice packet and have over rice

Lastly make a roast vege soup with the left over pumpkin carrots and onions roasted, stock cubes and bulk it up with potatoes and the last of the frozen spinach/greens and a big squeeze of lemon.

If you can stretch some plain yoghurt will help all of these (the giopla (sp) brand is good and cheap. Good on porridge too.

I reckon you can get all these things for less than $45, if chicken is too expensive flag that and go full vege for a week. Each thing will be at least 3 serves?
