[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2100319, member: 493719"] i'd agree at first it seems that way. But now i see the stuff i DON'T buy. the takeaways, the 'extra' bit of food just in case i get hungry.+ crisps chocolate a bun etc etc and like [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] says far less waste. because i THINK what i can eat, i no longer do the impulse Buys that get thrown out because they have gone past their sell by date before we've eaten them. Now while the food might be better quality, i eat less. Those days of 3/4 meals a day and a snack or two are gone. One meal, maybe two..(and one of those could probably be described as a snack) I Usually cook in the evening, but it make enough for two days, simply cook and split the meal. So a good bit of meat £5 and veg..maybe £1 or two and will do other meals. £3 a day for my main meals..happy days. not the same for others i'll agree. Tonight, a bag of frozen stir fry, half an onion, garlic and 3 eggs, milk butter, salt & pepper my version of tortilla. a quarter for me, with some salad, tomatoes and chopped jalapenos. Missus.."I'm not hungry......OOH that smells nice " took other quarter. Rest is tomorrow's work lunch. So it's as cost effective as you want it to be. Admittedly i really only cook for me.. (missus rarely eats in evening and daughter does her own thing with friends) But not as expensive as it can seem at first.. [/QUOTE]
