Default Tastiest thing I can make for £1.37

I've spent everything else on booze, now i'm hungry, what can I feed on until the 25th. Ideas?

Oh I have no food of any sort. Housemates were kind enough to polish off everything. I do have salt and pepper.

You could probably make some garlic chilli spaghetti for that much? If not, erm, a tin of baked beans, and some toast! Omlettes? Jacket potato?

As I cooked last night....

Finely chop an onion and as much garlic as you can lay your hands on...

Fry this off with some basil (dried is ok) and black pepper...

While you do this cook some pasta.

Once the pasta is cooked then dump it in the pan with the onion and garlic and fry it a little bit.

Then...

Dump a can of beans into the mix, add some worcestershire sauce and ketchup and a bit of water.

Cook until it looks right.

Devour.

Fart lots

tins of Beans and spaghetti can be had for about 15p each. Potatoes for about 30p/kg, rice for next nothing, and pasta for next nothing, supermarket label crap of the tins of course, can't remember the exact price of corned beef but supermarket label is cheap as! same with meat paste (almost corned beef!) thats about 15p for a little jar.
Remember always check the reduced sections first! Bargains to be had there. If you're really cheap ask for what they've already thrown out of grocery shops/resturants/supermarket thats actually what environmentally friendly people do too
Can't think of any more tips off the top of my head and i have about 1300 words to write for an essay due in, in about 10 hours... (loads of time you might say ) but then i have a mock exam and a programming exercise to be handed in right after too...

Noodles can be bought for under 10p, tins of cheap soup (or cup-a-soup type things) can be bought for next to nowt too and the rest can go towards a cheap loaf.

Toast, soup with bread to dip in and/or noodles to fill you up. Sounds like a winner to me!

A few times when I was extremely skint, I bought about 4-5 different tins of veg and some cheap curry sauce, and mixed the two. Made quite a nice cheap veggie curry considering just how little it cost Surprisingly filling too.
Bit healthier than instant noodles too.
