There's a blog I like called Budget Bytes (
www.budgetbytes.com) that I find to be quite good in terms of quality recipes made with reasonably priced ingredients. The writer lives in southern US so her prices used aren't exactly on par with here, and she seems to have small appetite so she likely gets more portions out of a meal than most would, but overall I think she manages to create a large variety of meals out of very little, and a lot of stuff people would likely already have around the house.
Last year she also did the SNAP Challenge and documented the meals she made and her experience trying to follow the challenge which is a pretty interesting read:
