I really fancied egg and chips for tea and Mr CB made a very nice meal of it by poaching fresh free range eggs and making chips. I had mine with baked beans and he had his with mushy peas and it was heavenly, it really hit the spot. We were surprised afterwards when we worked out how little it had cost us. Also, because he used spray oil and baked the chips instead of frying them it was fairly healthy.
Eggs 80p (20p each)
Beans 14p (half a can)
Mushy peas 9p (half a can)
Potatoes 25p (approx)
Around £1.28, so it was 64p each plus gas for the hobs and electric for the oven. That's definitely going to become a regular with us, Mr Crafty Blueberry's Gormet Egg and Chips.
