if we cant get the money jack will be havin jars of food for a while which is expensive..

It makes quite alot so you can freeze. How about cauliflower cheese, baked potatos with various fillings, leek and potato soup? Good luck with the move
i have only had them for emergencies but they may be good if you're not going to have a fridge strait away.
i love making stuff myself and i do quite a few diff recipies which my LO loves. he's coming up to 7 months so most is still quite pureed.
I tend to just puree what we are eating e.g if we have a roast dinner, i just don't add salt to anything until i've taken out the baby's portion. so i might puree some chicken (you can finely chop if your little one is older) veg and potato. i often put garlic in with my roast chicken. the good thing about doing this is that you will be cooling for yourself anyway and if you puree enough for 2 meals you can freeze or refrigirate for the next day.
i also do beef mince and onions with potato and veg and again don't add salt and just blend some for the baby before i add salt for us.
if you're not into cooking too much then avacado is fab and you can mash it with banana or yoghurt or with poached apple, pear or plum it's a real favourite of mine.
I could go on forever i'm a bit obsessed with food, hope you get on ok
