If you slow cook chicken (literally 2 mins on boil, 30 mins with heat off and lid on) and shred it, the chicken goes a lot further! Also if you manage to get a chicken to roast, use leftover meat for a chicken shepherds pie and then boil the carcass for stock which can be frozen!

I've managed to get away with using minimal meat and normal amount of veg in things and making it last longer in fridge/freezer! Also you can literally throw together anything and I can assure you it'll taste grand, having herbs and spices in the cupboard helps alot and if you can get/have tomato puree, you can mix a little with hot water to make a sauce. Even better if you can get your hands on chopped tomatoes but they're golddust here right now!
If you have pasta, chuck it in a pan with tomato sauce (made however you need to) and basil with mushrooms/peppers, it actually makes a really nice hot or cold pasta which I find fills me up with just a little bit? Mushrooms are amazing for bulking out dishes I find!
I wouldn't mind hearing other people's recipes though because I'm running out of ideas too
