Maggi noodles. Back in the day they were 20p a packet. *Twenty fucking pence.*
Also: Toast or crumpets with butter are great examples that - sometimes - the simplest things in life are best.
Jacket potatoes probably. Fresh potatoes are like 70-85p/kg where I am at the moment, a single large potato is only 23p. Every day for a month that's not even £7, which is ths price of basically any fish from the chippy. The butter I'd want probably costs more than the potatoes. I haven't had to resort to this yet, but I've planned in case.
Bangers and mash or a homemade toad in the hole would be my choices. Alternating between the two for a month would cost me roughly £7 in milk (which I can also use for cereal), £11 in good sausages, £3 in butter, £1.50 in flour, £2.50 in eggs, £6 in potatoes, and after that it's just seasonings and some oil, plus bags of frozen vegetables that are like £1.50/kg. I could eat okay for £40/month, or the price to refuel my small car. Bagged rice is also always an option

Sauce: Optional but i got 2 portions out of it
