What food would You buy for £50?

[londonercsecse]

So, let's say You got an extra £50 to burn (on food prepping), what would You do with it? Why?

[iceprep]

I would purchase extra dried foods such as
Nuts, rice, dried beans and pulses. Spending at least £25.
Then another £15 on budget / smartprice canned foods mainly tinned fruit. The the remaining £10 on dried herbs and spices to give variation to flavour.

Simply because the dried foods are nutritious and filling, can be used as a foundation of a meal such as curry, chilli or soup- the herbs and spices turn bland into flavour. Most veg can be grown easily.

The fruit simply because they may possibly be hard to come by in a SHTF context and I've only began adding fruit to my preps.

£20 on pulse, pasta,, rice £20 on tinned £5 on spices and herbs and £5 on speeds (have to have a way of growing your own)
