  • 2014-06-02T19:00:00Z30m

Jamie makes a piri piri pork belly with crispy crackling - a brilliant example of how a thrifty cut of meat and some clever cooking can deliver a real family feast at a fraction of the cost of pork chops, fillet or loin.

There's also frugal hangover noodles topped with Asian-style crispy and runny fried egg; and two very different ideas for making the most of leftover lamb from the Sunday roast - a scrumptious lamb biryani and a healthy, punchy, crunchy noodle salad.

There's a midweek showstopper in the form of Jamie's grilled garlic mussels with sweet tomato soup, at just £1.30 a portion.

And clever tips on how to use super-cheap frozen veg like spinach and broccoli.
