If you shop wisely you can have a good family meal for very little, have you noticed those on lesser incomes or none at all hardly ever look starved.

Don't see anything wrong with this. Jack Monroe has made a great living out of making meals cheaply... this is just more of the same.

To be fair vanessa it's probably mostly water if it's that cheap.

But you don't need to eat meat at every meal if at all, you can still be healthy by eating sensibly and cooking from scratch,maybe some of the people mentioned never look healthy as they usually have a fag hanging out their mouth.

Me and my partner get these because it does work out cheaper AND the quality of meat is superb (chicken breasts twice the size of supermarkets and not pumped full of water like those gross Tesco ones). We usually buy a £70 box which will last 2 of us 4/5 weeks. But, we do have to pay around £40 a week for food to contribute to these dinners plus breakfasts and lunches etc... There is no way she feeds a family of four on so little. She says she can make a meal with one of those minced beef packets for 4 people each night for 2 days well the love is having a laugh because that does me and my partner one meal each for one night and I'm skinny like Mariah!

Ah bless her, I am sure she was on the telly last year saying how she fed her family on a tight budget.
On top of her " warehouse" type order ( they never gave the name of the supplier) she also bought catering size pasta, flour, jam etc. So she does manage well on a budget but not as tight as the article lets you think. £65 on meat alone maybe but then you have to at least double that for other foodstuffs, then there is toiletries and cleaners etc as well, so quite misleading. My daughter gets her meat from muscle and says it is excellent quality and value. |

I have to admit though ... ... ... IF the meat is of any sort of decent quality, they do have some pretty amazing deals on the site . You'd pretty much need a deep-freeze chest freezer for it to be worth it though. Mince is fine cooked from frozen but chicken breasts and red meat cuts, not so much, ruins the quality. You'd basically need to; - Freeze all of the mince raw; - Make large batches with the chicken breasts (of various chicken-in-sauce type things) and freeze them cooked; - Use any red meat cuts / steaks first before they go off. So you'd also basically have like 5 days of eating nothing but red meat in your first week which obviously isn't ideal or healthy... |

What's with the reliance on mystery meat just because you're on a low income?
