I have £3 and half a loaf of bread for food until monday.

What should I buy with the £3?

Go to a food pantry. They'll give you food.

I've never had peanut butter before that's a risky investment

I have .2 £ for the rest of the month. But fortunately got stocked up in every aspect. Freezer full, got rice, pasta potatoes.
My point is: stock up, son
That 3 quid should buy you a cheap bottle of wine and let you sleep through monday.

Scratch off lottery tickets. You could win!

If you meant calories, buy as much malt liquor as you can. I recommend "Olde English 800" because you appear to be British.

Monday as in a couple days from now?

Alright, what stores are available and what can you cook with in your kitchen? Fryer, oven, hob, microwave, what's good?

If you have a hob available, I suggest grabbing a pint of milk (usually around 50p), a decent-strength cheese and as much pasta as possible. Spaghetti is dirt cheap, macaroni is more expensive. Make cheese sauce (half a pint of milk and about 100g of cheese should do it) and boil whatever pasta you manage to pick up. Congrats, you now have a filling meal.

I usually use 200-300g of dry macaroni pasta at a time; that should do a normal person for 2-3 meals. Macaroni keeps pretty well in the fridge, just bring it out, add a little more milk and some cheese if you have it, and heat it up.

If you have a fryer available, frozen chips are as cheap as 75p for 1.5 kilos. You can also use an oven. Buy the biggest/best value chips you can, cook 'em however you like, use the rest of the money to buy extras to eat with it.

Go to Gregg's and buy some sausage rolls.

Sainsburys basic rice is 60p, that should last. Can of kidney beans is ~50p, get a single onion (don't know the price but it will be cheap). A can of chopped tomatoes is £1 add a chilli and that's beans and rice
