I'll start (britbong here):
Chinese-style "Seaweed"
> Spring Greens (~75p), finely (I mean really thin) chopped in strips and washed
> Add to bath of hot vegetable oil
> Cook for 30 seconds, remove with skimmer and drain
> Add salt and/or sugar to tasta
> Optional: Cashew nuts (about 70p from ASDA)
> Done
> Also, can reuse oil
Add curry power/herbs and hot sauce to instant noodles (just stir a little bit more)
If you catch a deal on milk, butter or bread you can freeze these for about a month beyond exp. date
Look for public wholesalers of different ethnic foods (Litres of Soy Sauce and cheap industry utensils from Chinese etc.) In fact, a lot of ethnic supermarkets do really cheap bulk amounts of stuff sometimes like herbs/nuts/spices etc.
