Catelli - elbows, small pack about 300 gms - $4.00 Makes a small enough pie to serve one or two persons as a side dish for about 2 or three meals. ( milk and cheese do not count in this as some persons will eat the "elbows" boiled with seasonings.)
Carailli - $3.00 for about 2 small ones or 1 large one for $5.00. These can create a serving for 2 persons for about 2 meals as no one really likes Carailli.
Peas - Lentils, split peas are each about $4.00 - $5.00 Most persons cook about a quarter of a pound with garlic. So a pound of peas can last a month to six weeks for two persons.
Mince meat - At some supermarkets, you can ask for about $5.00 in minced meat and they will weigh it out for you without a fuss.. Cooked in a sauce, this can become a side.
Mackerel in a tomato sauce or in brine is my last suggestion at $5.00. This can be curried and served as a side for 2 persons.
Here are my over $5.00 which can last for awhile:
Mushrooms in a tin at $10.00 - Sliced thinly and curried, they can be served as a side. As a pizza topping, they may take longer to be eaten.
Sardines @ $7.00 serves 2 -3 as a side
1/2 pound of Peanut Butter - can make cookies, "punches" eaten on apples, with oats, sugar, essence and baked as a bar, eaten by the tsp to prevent heatburn.
Pakchoy, Callaloo Bush and other vegetables last for several meals.
Flour 2kg - can last a month or so.
Macaroni or spaghetti @ $5.00 or so.
Enjoy your shopping and eating for the weekend
