We need all the help we can get with feeding our families for less right now ... and who doesn't love a traybake?

Preparing nutritious and filling family meals on the cheap can be challenging enough at the best of times, let alone at the start of a nationwide cost-of-living crisis.

But, savvy mum Ashleigh, AKA @cardiff.mum, proves you can create hearty dinners on a budget, if you're clever.

Luckily, she's revealed how she does just that, sharing five Aldi dinner ideas you can whip up for JUST £25 ... that's a fiver per meal, working out at roughly £1 per portion, assuming they serve five people.

And, because they're all traybake meals, there won't even be too much washing up for you to do afterwards – bonus!

The recipes in the clip are as follows ...

• Chorizo and Black Bean Loaded Sweet Potato Nachos
• Chicken Sharwarma with Sesame Sweet Potato and Houmous
• Greek Meatballs with Baked Lemon Feta Pasta
• Sticky Teriyaki Salmon, Broccoli & Pak Choi
• Peri-Peri Chicken and Halloumi

Ashleigh captioned her video: '5 Super- Easy and incredibly tasty family traybakes for £25 from Aldi.

'Shopping list and ingredients will be saved to my Recipes 2 highlight, recipes stated will serve 4 🥳.'

The clip clearly resonated with many fellow parents, receiving more than 8k likes and over 200 comments on the platform.
