Easy Meals For Uni?

So are onions. Buy them instead.

Not sure an onion would be a tasty meal on its own

Five people buy pot noodles, everyone eats pot noodles.

Five people buy onions, carrots, turnip, stock and meat, everyone eats stew ;p

You are talking about uni students here. Cheap cider, pot noodles and beans on toast.

Right, i got accepted into university today which i'm thrilled about. Fucking over the moon.

As there is a bit of a wait, i thought i'd do some early research, get ideas to save time nearer September and i'm thinking i'll need some cheap basic meals to keep me going whilst i'm alone.
I'm assuming Pasta in a sauce is near the top of my list, anything else recommended?

Ta.

Best of luck to you, I know how it feels and it can be daunting but you'll be fine once you're there!
Some things I often cook which are cheap, freezable and fairly tasty and nutritional (you don't want to be eating pot noodles or toast all the time if you actually want to be productive):
Spaghetti Bolognese
Shepherds/Cottage Pie
Corned Beef Hash
Lasagne
Pizza (homemade - it's easy - watch Jamie Oliver or google it)
Macaroni cheese (pasta + a cheese roux/white sauce - butter flour milk & cheese)
Chilli con carne
Pasta with... (tuna, sweetcorn, mayo / garlic, chilli, olive oil / tomato jar sauce...etc)



This 'book' from StudentBeans.com could be quite helpful - download it and save it because they've taken it off their website (I think)

Who the fuck boils chicken?

Pot noodles are all 50p in asda right now so you could stock up ;)

So are onions. Buy them instead.

More taste though than a pot noodle

I love onions but I couldn't just eat an onion and nothing else

But think of the fun you could have dipping them in chocolate or sticky red toffe, mounting them on sticks, and handing them out on halloween

 

[Why Always Ste]

Ravioli, Rice, Sardines, Tuna, Beans, tinned soups...

You can buy tins of Ravioli from Aldi for like 40p

Porridge for Breakfast.

Water as your main drink throughout the day (refill a sports bottle and take it with you everywhere)

You did that around our way the toddlers would embed them in your eye sockets and take your spleen as a trophy
