  • ^ Sainsbury's Country Soup Mixture will bulk that out: a mix of dried peas, pearl barley, lentils etc; £1.09 for 500g.

    When I'm really skint I chuck half a bag in the slow cooker with a litre of stock: makes four big servings.

    Pearl barley and stock, simmered with an onion is another dirt cheap emergency stand-by.
