@akjv Wraps - canned beans (cheaper to buy bulk dried but takes longer to prep), whatever veges you have, seasonings (Mexican taco mix or similar), can either use flatbread or make non-sweetened pancakes out of flour/salt/water, if no cheese then can make garlic Gopala yogurt. You can put pretty much anything in a wrap
Ramen - can add whatever veges you have, dried mushrooms pre-soaked, egg/little bit of meat if you're feeling fancy
Pasta - canned tomatoes, or make a white sauce/cheese sauce, or just seasoned oil + little bit of the pasta water, again with the random veges/proteins, herbs/seasonings etc, dry pasta is fine - can also make pasta dough out of one cup flour per one egg then roll out with a rolling pin or empty bottle - can also use frozen + quickly boiled wonton wrappers as pasta noodles/lasagne sheets - can also make gnocchi out of half potato, half flour, roll into log & cut little bits off + boil until they float
Curry - those Mae ploy plastic tubs of curry paste last pretty much forever, can of coconut cream + those random veges & proteins, extra garlic, ginger, dried chilli, coriander etc if you're feeling fancy, have with rice
Fritters - Those random veges + proteins again, batter of flour + water + seasonings, an egg in the mix if you have it, fry and have with some sort of sauce
General tips: frozen veges & canned veges like capsicum can be cheaper than fresh - so many things like large packs of rice, herbs/spices, meat, flour, eggs etc are much cheaper if you can swing the upfront cost - could team up with other frugal friends to meet those upfront costs - don't get those at supermarket if you can avoid it, go to wholesale shops + Indian/Asian stores - stick to whatever seasonal veges/fruits are currently cheap at supermarket/farmers market, downside = no avocado, fresh tomato etc for most of year, upside = you'll adapt & might discover some new faves - forage for herbs like rosemary, bay, parsley & edible weeds like dandelion, chickweed etc
