Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nicole T" data-source="post: 2290178" data-attributes="member: 527609">Frozen food usually seems to be the cheapest option, especially with meat and fish. It kind of makes sense, because there's less store waste of food that's gone past its use by date, which has to be factored into the cost of the food that actually sells.Check out the frozen fish in Iceland / Food Warehouse. They often do 3 packs for £10. Lots of different things to choose from, and you get at least 4 decent sized fillets (or the entire fish, bar head, tail and guts, in the case of mackerel) in each bag. So it works out at less than £1 per serving if you just have the one piece, and still less than £2 if you have a couple. (Correction: I just opened a bag of the mackerel, and it's 4 fillets, with the skin still on, rather than 4 whole fish.)Snacks and accompaniments seem to be a killer, though. 12 bags of low carb pork puffs for £10, when a 12 pack of Quavers would typically be £5 at most, and often on sale for £3. 200 grams of Konjac rice costs the same as a 2 kilo bag of Basmati.</blockquote>
