• 2 pints of semi-skimmed milk (or 1 pint of full-fat milk and 1 pint of water), £1
• 3 tablespoons baking spread (40p)

• Salt, pepper, a tiny pinch of nutmeg, and a sprinkle of paprika for seasoning

4. Flake the poached fish into the sauce and fold in. Add the defrosted mixed vegetables (about half a bag, £1).

5. Optional: If desired, layer the fish mixture with slices of hard-boiled eggs.

6. Prepare the mashed potato topping using budget-friendly potatoes (around 19p a bag).
