Is that a yolk or something? The price doesn't seem quite white, but I suppose I could shell out for that!

There you go. Three puns. Now, where are my eggs?

Pasta I guess. You can do pretty much anything with it. Actually, maybe potatoes for the same reason. Baked spuds are awesome.

Like [b]tiggs[/b], I favour the cheap/discounted malt loaf. Morrisons' value @ 28p was a daily snack.

On the cheap=>free foodstuffs, dandelion leaves rather than the tiny £1 bags of rocket.

Not cheap enough? £3 will get me 36 and that's no yolk.

OK, so he didn't have a great game last weekend, but that price seems almost insultingly low.

He's Billy and he's bloody annoying (obviously rugby - he's wearing the England kit and don't pretend you can't see that!).

Do cherry tomatoes count as cheap? Cos I eat them every day.

Dried noodles, boiled then fried in oil with soy sauce and Healthy Boy Brand (really) sweet chillisos.

The msg/salt/fat levels will likely kill you, but you'll get better.

Mcvities choc digestives when they are on special for £1 (which seems to be quite a lot)

God knows how many calories per pack - but I can't resist the thrifty goodness and always polish off the whole pack in an evening

Is bovril cheap? Marmite doesn't seem very cheap.
I like so many cheap food stuffs not sure I could pick 1.
I guess in a 2for1 I could say porridge oats, a big bowl of porridge is the best biking breakfast and a very good midride snack flapjacks, both need dried fruit added tho.

These are that cheap, you could weigh the tin in for scrap and get em for nowt probably
pretty sure when I was a student there was a baked bean price war, someone was selling them for -1p a tin*

*offer limited to 1 per person per visit, must be bought in conjunction with something else, may just be a publicity stunt, blah blah

Haslet on toast

mmmm... with branston pickle (or cheaper own-label alternative)

Always provokes a debate on the correct pronunciation though. Is it [i]hass-let[/i] or [i]hay-slet[/i]?

Even better if you chop up an onion and add that.

Now I like that choice. Not too pretentious however sophisticated enough to distance itself from scrambled egg.

A massive pot of chicken broth made from the carcass of the weekend roast and lots of veg. That has to be cheap.

10 years ago I would have said pot noodle. Then after eating 1 a day for a month (and next to nothing else, bar beer and pub snacks) it put me in an icu. For malnutrition of all things! Who'da thunk it!

Still love chicken supernoodles though. With cheese melted into them. And a bit of chopped ham or hotdog if I want to make it special!

The ingredients list on the spam with bacon make for [s]Terrifying[/s] interesting reading!

Bacon cured with water?!
Sugar, salt and water mentioned twice!
some stuff I can't pronounce!
