That 99p 'bargain' Shepherd's pie is a loss leader, and if you're sucked in to buying only convenience food at that store, you're ultimately going to be paying over the odds, for nutritionally poor food. |

You don't find many convenience foods in good restaurant kitchens either. |

Many 'meat' ready meals are made from 'reconstituted beef' which is the scrapings off the bones, the sinews, and offal with added beef flavouring YUK

I think Cook in Sauces are the biggest rip off going, second only to tinned and packet soups

Sadly I can't safely cook some things anymore. I'd still be as quick, but the sauce I made might be shaken over all four walls.:D |

It is the convenience food in packets jars and ready meals which costs more, because you have paid for a factory to do the work of making it, and they use some cheap nasties to try to make it look more economic for you to eat it.

There's nothing wrong with convienience food per se, as a standyby, or a 'treat', but if that's all you ate, in the long run you'd be poorer in the pocket, and in poorer health. |

Did my usual mince combination today,Mince and onion,Cottage pie and Spag. Boll.
Cost in total £3-00 but will last at least 3 days. I nicked the onions and potatoes and carrots but due to restrictions in my rental agreement I can not raise and process my own cattle.:banlama: Sorry nearest I could find:D |

Re: How bad is the credit crunch really affecting people?
When I was in England a year ago I was shocked at the focus on conveniance foods and ready meals. I even commented to my sister at the time does nobody cook anymore. Everything is very expensive to me in England so I assumed people buy them because they are cheap. Let's be honest they sell a lot of them so someone is buying them.
I did get to see Jamie's ministry of food and was shocked at how many of them didn't even know basic cooking skills. |

Times are tough ... last year, I had to shoot my Christmas dinner ... and for supper tonight, a fish that I had to catch myself after digging a hole in the ice ... if I hadn't had a bottle of Fireball to keep me company, I don't know how I would have managed .... checked my freezer, and I'm running low on moose and bambi burgers:eek: Better check on my stock of ammo, I think I'm running low on the 30.06:uzi:
