Challenge #47 - cook something that costs less than £1

[miss_s_b]

It's totally Wednesday, right?
* guilty expression *
* cough *
This week's challenge is to cook something that costs less than £1. That's US$1.34, AUS$1.77, and other currencies can be found here. I'm going on the honour system, but if you want to post a photo of the receipt you can :)

Quick question: if I buy a packet of 10 stock cubes for 45p but I only use one, can I count that item as costing 5p? (Or am I overthinking this?)

[miss_s_b]

Yes, but you have to do the maths (after all, if that kind of maths is good enough for a twat like J*mie Ol*ver then it's good enough for us, right?)

Ooh, now this is my sort of challenj.

£1 per person or all in?

[miss_s_b]

I reckon so long as you specify which one you're doing either is fine, but £1 to cover 4 ppl is obviously more of a challinj so gets more boasting rights

Damn, now this is a challenge!

Any freebies in this such as salt or cooking spray?

Now THERE'S a question.
I don't think going as far as Ready Steady Cook rules (they had things like wine and cream and citrus fruits in their "things everybody has in the kitchen anyway" stuff) but I expect salt and pepper are fine.

Oil/spray I'm less sure about...

I guess it's up to you what you put in your post, and up to others what they make of it? #FenceSitter

Dammit, I really miss Ready Steady Cook

That's a heck of a "things everybody has in the kitchen anyway" list. lol

On Guy's Grocery Games - another competition type show on Food Network, they have a very small pantry at the side which has flour, sugar, oil, butter, salt, pepper, vinegar and maybe another item or two.

I'll try to do something that doesn't rely on any of those but if I need to spritz a pan with a little oil to not ruin the pan, I may dismiss it.
