Baked potato, salad and breaded chicken? I like the Cajun one - hubby likes the buttermilk. I get the M&S frozen baked potatoes handy for something quick as you can do them in the microwave! The chicken takes 15-20 mins and you can freeze it too and it’ll take 25 mins or so it’s good because you can get 3 boxes for £10 and it means you don’t have to eat it all the same week!
Fab suggestion, thanks!
I love the M&S prepackaged salads, so lazy I know but they’re really good!
The sweet&crunchy one is my fave, followed by the santorini(sp?) one.
I’m far more likely to eat salad when I buy it like that as opposed to buying all the individual bits to prepare. I wish I could say I don’t have the time to prep but I admit I’m just lazy

I've just had the battered cod fish cakes with crushed pea puree on top 
delicious

I found those really disappointing - the batter was greasy and the peas had no flavour. I love their tuna fish cakes though.I've just had the battered cod fish cakes with crushed pea puree on top
They had meals for 2 in the veg section when I was in the other day. £5
I think all were veggie/vegan but looked great and it was advertised as 10 min prep time. Definitely healthy

Silly question why would you buy frozen baked potatoes?? an ordinary potato takes approximately 5 mins in the microwave
It’s handy having them in the freezer for freshness when I can’t get out to the shops to get a bag or I’ve run out of potatoes. I do buy fresh potatoes every week too we eat a lot of spuds in this house
eta the frozen ones take 6 mins in the microwave too the chickens what takes 15-20 mins
Ah I’ll let you off on that one. Not tried a butchers version but I imagine they’d win!!The version of these from my local butcher definitely winlockdown did one thing good.... made me explore that glorious place haha
Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I ended up having the Santorini salad, baked potato and tuna Will need to do more of a proper shop when I have more time. Got to stock up on their tinned soups and baked beans etc.

Not too bad. Last lot were like £2.50/£3 for 6 and the frequency I eat sausages.... I'd rather it was a goodunHow much do they set you back though?
They also do a tray of normal sausages for a fiver for BBQ times lol think that's 10
Silly question but why would you consider a microwaved potato comparable to a jacket potato. It's not even close
I ended up having exactly what I suggested I also had the peri peri Mayo but took photo before I added it.

I’m a jacket potato purist too, wouldn’t eat a microwaved one. Understand they’re much quicker in the microwave but the skin doesn’t go crispy and the potato doesn’t have the same texture sadly.
Obviously they’re much nicer baked in the oven, but they’re decent enough for a quick midweek dinner
I prefer sweet potato, will normally bake a couple and have it with steak and peppercorn sauce
