Yeah I totally agree. I was thinking this was a nice treat but severely underwhelmed. Bit of motivation to make the extra effort to cook because I can actually cook! I just couldn’t believe the brass neck of it. When they go out of business it won’t be due to the cost of living it will be due to taking the piss out of people.Takeaway is now a huge treat for us. We don’t get it often but when we do we are usually disappointed with some aspect of it! And realise we both can cook far better ourselves!
The main thing is getting organised and having ingredients in the house. We now try to cook things that can be reinvented as a next day dinner to cut costs and the hassle of cooking!
Like a Thai Chicken Curry will have with rice and then throw dry noodles into the leftovers whilst it’s still warm to soak up the sauce and cook in the residual heat then that’s a Pad Thai style dish the next day with few peanuts threw on top … feels like takeaway
Actually finding M&S cheaper for some staples like bread and milk and eggs these days and it used to be the ‘fancy’ shop,Yeah the price of food shopping has got wild too if you want nutritious raw ingredients to cook yourself from scratch.
I normally use chicken thigh to make my curry but last week it was £2 cheaper to buy the same weight in breasts!
When I got them home I realised they were good lean fillets so airfried one plain to use for lunches instead of buying ham and used the other 3 in a pot of curry that did two days,
Definitely agree, even things like tins of soup, beans and jars of seasoning are as cheap if not cheaper at times than the main supermarkets.Actually finding M&S cheaper for some staples like bread and milk and eggs these days and it used to be the ‘fancy’ shop,
I’ve been doing lots more veggie meals these days, not through any ethical things but because meat is expensive and I am trying to be healthier so when I do have meat I want a nice good quality steak from a butcher. I’m so fucked off about my Chinese tonight thoughDefinitely agree, even things like tins of soup, beans and jars of seasoning are as cheap if not cheaper at times than the main supermarkets.
I've found going to the butcher's in town as cheap and better quality of meat than getting it in the supermarkets
where are breasts cheaper than thighs?! I tend to buy thighs due to being cheap but my husband hates them!Yeah the price of food shopping has got wild too if you want nutritious raw ingredients to cook yourself from scratch.
