Toast a thin slice of bread. Butter two slices of bread and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place the toast between the two slices of bread-and-butter to form a sandwich.
British Dietetic Association spokeswoman Melissa Little said there were ways to make the toast sandwich much better for not that much more money.
Ms Little said: "You can add an egg for 8p, it's not much and it would give you some protein and keep you fuller for longer - and it would make it taste much better.
"Half a can of sardines for 19p would provide good fats, you would get some fish, and again make you feel fuller for longer.
"Even adding some vegetables, such as cucumbers or carrots - would give you some more nutrients."
She suggested the exercise did highlight that people are struggling to pay for grocery bills and looking for alternatives.

scrambled egg sandwiches are the BEST
anybody remembering when you used to stick your finger in the container of crisco and eat it?....
hey, we didn't have chips or store bought cookies or soda etc just laying around...
Bletch!
I guess that stuff could be called a seasoning and vitamin supplement. It’s not what would be called a food over here.
i used to dip potato chips in mustard
goes well with stone soup.
I fully welcome the coming dietary trend.
In the UK, they’d probably use Marmite.
I like to put chopped onions in the braunschweiger for a little extra kick. Of course, you’re even less kissable after eating that!
Life’s too short to eat margarine.
My grandmother used to cook “Irish Spaghetti” during the depression. That’s spaghetti noodles with ketchup for sauce. Never had the “pleasure” of trying it myself though.
I did get to sample the “Poor Man’s Cake” many times, and that was actually delicious stuff.

Ear-Bending Cellmate: ...and when there was no meat, we ate fowl and when there was no fowl, we ate crawdad and when there was no crawdad to be found, we ate sand.
H.I.: You ate what?
Ear-Bending Cellmate: We ate sand.
[pause]
H.I.: You ate SAND?
Dangit I’ve got such a hankerin for an egg salad sandwich or two now!
“National Health Service, and pretend sandwiches. Welcome to the formerly Great Britain. Jeepers...talk about lowered expectations.”
Only if you’re dim enough to take the BBC seriously, something which a surprising number of otherwise bright Freepers seem happy to do. . . . .
Sensitive, are we?
Egg salad is reaaally good too. I always add just a tiny bit of sweet pickle relish to mine. I’ve been trying to get a local bagel shoppe to add egg salad to its menu (especially during Lent). I know it would be a hit and would be a money maker for them, but the owner is stubborn.
“Sensitive, are we?”
Only to Freepers who howl when America is judged by left-leaning MSM reports and then proceed to do exactly that about other countries.
