A little something on the side

It can be hard to know what to have with your meal. It is even harder if you are on a budget. But there are easy options to fill your plate and stomach without emptying your purse. 

Adding a side salad can be cheap and easy. Ice berg lettuce and cucumber are inexpensive vegetables. Chopped up and mixed with some white wine vinegar it can make a simple and easy addition to any meal. 

This can easily fill half your plate and is a simple way to increase your intake of vegetables. 

Another easy addition to your meal is canned vegetables. Baby carrots and chickpeas are cheap and easily stored in your kitchen. 

They can be cooked when you need a little extra food for a meal. They are quick to cook, healthy and tasty. 

Scrambled tofu is one of my new favourite foods and these extras are a great, healthy extra. Some people think eating healthy is hard and expensive but these foods are cheap and filling. They are also quick to cook for anyone looking for a quick and healthy meal and the best part they are inexpensive extras to have on the side. 

This is fast food at it's finest. Quick, healthy, cheap and filling. Add these little extras to your meal and make it extra special.
