Budget Meal Planner

Make it different everyday!

Potatoes are so versatile, you can get lots of different meals out of just one bag. Simon Rimmer, the BBC's Something for the Weekend chef, says: "With the current credit crunch, a staple home-grown crop like potatoes is, as it was to our grandparents, so important. A bag of potatoes offers such tremendous value and so many options."
