If it helps the OP (or anyone else ) I think we have finally got it just about right . . . though it won't suit everyone of course.
Mrs Zeb makes a curry or chilli con carne and freezes enough for a meal each. We also carry half a dozen sachets of 2-minute microwave rice, which can just as easily be boiled in the bag if we are off hook-up.
That's the first meal sorted! Out of the freezer box and heat up the curry/chilli and a bag of rice - or two if we are starving.
The remaining sachets of rice form part of the emergency supplies, along with a couple of sachets of ready to eat stew (or whatever) plus a tin of boiled new potatoes, one of peas and one of sweetcorn. Not exactly gourmet meals, but perfectly palatable, keeps forever, and better than traipsing round town on a Sunday evening looking for somewhere to get a bite. (Been there I'm afraid! )
That's exactly what my missus does. Makes up the saucy/meaty bits and freezes into meal size plastic pots. Fills the freezer compartment. Then all we need to do is boil up the rice or pasta on site. Make a variety in the ease and luxury of the kitchen at home, and we have six days' meals.
480 Tetley teabags ran out after 2 months away, so we were forced to use LYL's. If you leave them to brew for half an hour or so, you will actually get a bit of colour - but unfortunately no taste.

Not quite true Thursdays!
There's just enough flavour to ruin the taste of the water!!
I can't believe people use teabags. I'd rather go without !
If you don't want leaves down the sink then go to any French supermarket and buy a packet of filtres a the ( sorry, can't do accents) and fill your own- 75% Darjeeling, 25 % Assam and a pinch of Earl Grey makes a good blend or take a tea ball. If you're going to drink tea at least drink something decent.
We do much the same as Dave but without the frozen meals- boil in bag rice, pasta measured out in meal sized portions, a couple of stir in pasta sauces, a couple of cook-your-own baguettes and a couple of meals of Look What I've Found's are our emergency meals and the rest we buy as we go along.
We have found food more expensive and compensate by not eating out so often or taking a picnic for lunch.
