Food prices are always on the rise. Have you thought how to make your budget stretch? I love to cook for my family as you can be sure of what’s in there. There won’t be any nasty ingredients nor too much of the unhealthy ones. Sainsbury’s Live Well For Less have challenged a few parenting bloggers to share advice and savvy suggestions for using basics to create everyday food, without compromising on quality.
I made a slow cooked fish for a family of four. I used a packet of Basics Frozen White Fish Fillet, a tin of Basics Peeled Plum Tomatoes, Basics carrots and added some fresh cherry tomatoes (£1).
These are the ingredients:
- 1 Onion, sliced
- 2 Carrots, peeled and slice in chunk
- 1 bowl of cherry tomatoes
- 1 packet of Basic frozen white fish fillet
- 1 tin of peeled plum tomatoes
- 2 tablespoon of Tomatoes purée
- 1 pinch of Salt
- Pepper
- 1 pinch of Oregano
It is a simple and nutritious dish. Fish is great for Omega 3. Experts generally recommend eating fish once or twice a week. We served it with spaghetti. My family enjoyed and loved it!

This looks great and so frugal. Beautifully presented, too. Thanks so much for linking it up with #recipeoftheweek x
I don’t like fish, but the rest of the family do! I must admit this does look tasty though.
I’m always challenging myself to cut the food bill and don’t so too bad but we do heavily supplement with home grown veg. Cheap tins of tomatoes are my best friend, I use them so much!
Your slow fish looks lovely, very moist and tasty. I will be trying this recipe. Good food doesn’t have to be expensive.
We had this meal last night and it was a winner all round. I am always looking at ways of budgeting and this made a nice change. Thank you.
I love the Sainsburys Basics range we often use it
I wouldn’t have thought to serve fish with spaghetti, but looks like a good idea
This looks lovely-I’ve not thought of slow cooking fish before.
I’d never have thought to put fish with spaghetti, but it does look like it works really well 🙂
