Hi Fay, no idea what they taste like but what about the ready meals that can be bought in the supermarket they would be a lot cheaper I would have thought.
the problem is for a meal and a pudding even on whiltshire your talking about the same price.
I juggle with tescos i can buy two nice meals for 6.00 = 3.00 each but then a pudding well thats the crunch it will still cost about 4.00.
You can buy cheaper meals but i dont think they are as nutritious and are fattening.
I buy mashed potatoes, frozen veg and fish and stuff in freezer and its just a case of putting it in microwave. I dont cut up things.
I dont think there is a grant for food.
I do know a slow cooker is a great way to cook you can buy the meat and shove in a sauce and leave it all day, then just add a 2 minute rice, or some nice new potatoes already prepared.
Ask your local social services if there is money for a grant for the food. x
Wiltshire Farm Foods are good; you microwave them for say 6 minutes; you don’t even have to pierce the cellophane cover. Then you have the problem of tearing the top off; when it is boiling hot. If your hand/s are not very good this is a problem.
Also, WFF does not sell things like Dettol; washing tablets; bread etc.
The best idea is the person who suggested a slow cooker. You put the roughest meat in there and after 4 hours; o longer it comes out so tender.
Iceland is about the cheapest and is very good. You can get a meal for one for as low as £1. Everything is microwaved from frozen; take the cellophane top off when cold.
