hearts this thread. I cooked and ate so much better as a cash-poor, time-rich student than I've ever done as when employed.
+1 to cheap cuts of meat. Shin makes awesome stews. Throw in a couple of bits of oxtail for gelatin and it'll go all nice and rich and goopy. Then pearl barley, veggies. and some dumplings on top. All the good stuff.
One thing that does make a difference is having enough people around. It's much cheaper to cook for 6 than 2. And it's miserable having the same thing day after day if you make too large a batch.
