I thought Morrisons prices were diabolical at the weekend. £4.75 for frozen chips and £3.99 for roast potatoes. Are they actually insane? I came out with the bare minimum and I only buy things if they are close to their old price. I refuse to pay stupid amounts.Nipped into the COOP for a few bits and the prices were so abhorrent I left. People used to say beans on toast was a struggle meal and I doubt many could even afford that now. It's fucking immoral.
You would be better off finding a place that sells sacks of potatoes. I leave mine in a cool dark place and last for ages. even if they sprout a bit I just rub those off or plant themI thought Morrisons prices were diabolical at the weekend. £4.75 for frozen chips and £3.99 for roast potatoes.

Yep same as you, leave spuds in a dark place. Only frozen spuds I buy are the skinny chips!You would be better off finding a place that sells sacks of potatoes. I leave mine in a cool dark place and last for ages. even if they sprout a bit I just rub those off or plant them
Or you could part cook them and freeze them in whatever format you want them in.
I buy the 25p baked beans from Sainsburys, they're quite nice. The bread's gone up to 90p a loaf, but still a cheap meal.Nipped into the COOP for a few bits and the prices were so abhorrent I left.

My eldest loves getting a takeaway pizza for the novelty of opening the front doorWe've gone from having takeaway pizza to getting the £6 ASDA meal deal. 2 pizzas, a bottle of fizzy pop and a £5.49 voucher for a movie from the sky store. Much better than the £20+ we would spend on just eat
I keep saying this too, and people look at me like I’ve grown another head.I keep saying this but M&S can be great value if you shop carefully. Their meal deals are nice quality and the family ones for £15 can stretch to 3 meals for us two. Nice quality wholemeal bread is under £1 - a week of toast - and if you shop mindfully, great ingredients and yellow sticker deals. I think everyone is shopping differently, noticing more.
Their pizza counter deal is what we buyOn the subject of ice cream, we decided to treat ourselves on the last day of our holiday this week. 3 small tubs with two scoops each came to just under £20Thankfully I shared with the toddler otherwise I would have keeled over at paying over £20 for the 4 of us!
My eldest loves getting a takeaway pizza for the novelty of opening the front doorHowever the last delivery we had cost just over £30 for pizza and delivery. It was Domino's so not even terribly exotic pizza! But I think I might try and convince him to try the ASDA deal or even from their pizza counter. But it's the convience of the delivery
We do this with waitrose, they quite often do Indian 2x mains 2x sides for £10. 1x main with the sides is enough for the 3 of us so I freeze one and then buy sides for the next time in aldiI keep saying this but M&S can be great value if you shop carefully.

M+S isn’t as expensive as some think. It’s even better at the end of the day with their yellow stickers. I appreciate this is useless information for parents picking up small children from school, sorry.We do this with waitrose, they quite often do Indian 2x mains 2x sides for £10. 1x main with the sides is enough for the 3 of us so I freeze one and then buy sides for the next time in aldi
We always used to go to m&s after swimming lessons, it's right next to the pool and they were usually reducing stuff further. Think my best yellow stickers were 90% off. We've swapped swimming pools now so don't go often as it's 10 miles awayM+S isn’t as expensive as some think. It’s even better at the end of the day with their yellow stickers.

Oh fab! That's really helpful, thank you so much. And it really is good value. Pleasantly surprised by that.Their pizza counter deal is what we buyYou can claim a £5.49 Sky voucher or a free ticket dor VUE cinema within 7 days of buying the deal.
