Lunch for every day: 20 recipes for delicious, simple and inexpensive dishes

For calculations, we used the website of the online store “O’Key” with delivery in St. Petersburg. For all products, constant prices are taken without taking into account promotions. Most products are not the cheapest in their segment, and the price of a dish can be reduced if you choose more affordable options, buy products from local producers, or follow special offers.

Salt and soda are not included in the calculations, since a teaspoon of these ingredients costs 5–10 kopecks, which affects the final amount extremely little. Spices are added to the taste and budget of the cook, so they were also not included in the calculations.

For calculations, the average serving size was selected. It can be customized to suit your appetite and needs. Accordingly, in this case the cost will have to be adjusted.
