CHICKEN STEW POT: Perfect for winter evenings and serves two at an estimated 91p a portion.

Season and pan-fry two chicken drumsticks for around five minutes – Morrisons has a 1kg pack (approximately ten pieces) for £2.

TART WITH A TWIST: Serve this zingy Spanish-style tart alone or with chargrilled veg. It comes in at around £1.26 a portion.

Fry five or six slices of chorizo for a few minutes and set to one side. Brush a few sheets of filo pastry with olive oil and scrunch into a medium-sized ovenproof dish keeping the middle flat.
