Not sure how much food costs in the UK but that would cost $2-4 in the US if you satisfy that with canned sardines/tuna/salmon, or farmed tilapia.
Vegetables are cheaper than most people think. I usually buy $1/lb frozen peas and $1.5/lb frozen broccoli. Washed and cut fresh carrots are also about $1.5/lb. Spinach and kale are not bad either. Just don't waste money on fresh vegetables, by the time you cook them they will probably be in worse condition than the frozen stuff.
Fruits are probably the most expensive. The cheapest fruits don't even have great nutritional profiles other than fiber and maybe vitamin C (which not a lot of people know is actually abundant in many common vegetables).
