i regularly feed myself , my other half and my little girl for under a fiver and the majority of the time I do it without resorting to prepacked items or pretension!!!! But not everything that comes pre packed is bad for you. Try getting some nutrition books out of the uni library, I highly recommend McArdle, Katch & Katch's book Sports and Exercise Nutrition, 3rd edition. It makes for interesting reading if you really want to know about what you need from food.

The one thing I do think you're missing the point on Blazey is the herbs and spices bit. If you buy supermarkets own brand dried herbs and spices they are cheap and last a long time especially if you're only cooking for 1. I know you want fresh but with herbs and spices it is simply fresh herbs and spices, freeze dried and ground or chopped, so essentially all you are doing is rehydrating them.
