Whats the Best Meal You Have Had Which Costs within £5-£10?

I just had a Tesco meal deal of a southern fried chicken pasta with a packet of McCoy’s Thai sweet chicken flavour crisps and a Ribena blackcurrant drink at £3.40 with Clubcard but I had a £3 gift card and just paid 40p for it all!!
I get £3.50 meal deal from co-op as member. Sandwich, snack and drink. I also get offers on the app each week and 2p cashback on all my purchases. I think good value.
Oh I love a good deal, that sounds decent to me! Can't beat a full 40p lunch that you didn't have to make or cook.
I used to love a treat of passing a Morrisons, when we didn't have any near by to get a Chicken Cesar salad wrap, Falafel with humous and a Sparkling raspberry Ribena or Apple Juice Think they were or are around £3.50
The best priced meal deal I think personally (not that I ever get them) is Asda, as you can just buy 3 sets of main lunches. It is ANY 3 items rather than a main (sandwich, pasta, wrap etc.) snack and drink.
So just get 3 mains, a multipack of crisps if you want crisps and a big bottle of drink or a multi pack of drinks, works out SO much cheaper. Obviously buying the ingredients and preparing something yourself would be better and often cheaper, but for ease and a treat (if you find it a treat ) you can't go wrong.
Sorry talking meal deals here, not meals
Carbonara with cheap spaghetti and herb/garlic philli.Cheap as cheaps and very tasty.Quite like home made leek and potato soup or cream of broccoli with a hot baguette and loads of butter as well.
MelissaLee1 oh wow they sound so delicious thanks for sharing your recipe! Love soup though I eat the canned ones haha
Spaghetti Bolognese, feeds 9 of us for a fiver or beans on toast again for 9 of us less than a fiver
martinlufc5637 Yummy I haven’t had spaghetti bolognese for ages!
Usually make tuna pasta salad simple and quick meal!
kitty88uk I don't know how anyone can eat tuna, just the smell of it makes me gag lol
martinlufc5637 haha true but it’s still tasty
Everyone has their own likes and dislikes to foods
I hate coriander lol
I had a meal deal from Waitrose today, I know they are a bit dearer than others but got a lovely coronation chicken sandwich, loads of filling, sushi which I love and a drink.
eyeballkerry Yeah food items at Waitrose are more pricey! I usually buy when there’s reduced prices lol
The meal deal sounds delicious I like sushi too!!
kitty88uk People often think Waitrose is more expensive but actually if you shop around some of they products are cheaper than other stores.
eyeballkerry that’s true best to keep an eye on offers every time you are at the supermarkets we do that all the time but we mainly shop at Sainbsury’s or at Tesco when have money off vouchers
PhilipMarc I see, I’ve not tired but yeah I heard many people saying it’s a hit and miss and depends if you like the foods or not
Loved the Salmon,Spinach,New Potatoes, Beetroot Pips & Wedge of Lemon Morrison's Meal Deal ,Tub of Apple & Grapes & an Innocent Smoothie, a bargain at £3.50
Sooooo delicious !
janphoenix51 wow That is a great bargain meal deal!! Delicious foods!! Shame I don’t shop at Morrisons much mainly at Sainbsury’s
These days sometimes buy Greggs Sandwiches & Some Muffins for Lunch from the Greggs Outlet, make sure my order is just over £'s so that I get money back on Double Ups & that goes into my Savings Account
janphoenix51 Greggs sausage rolls are delicious I had some for free recently!!
Not had their sandwiches before how much are they for a pack?
Great saving money too!
Toby Carvery have been doing a 50 per off main meals this week - so that's a roast with all the trimmings for a fiver.
...
Greggs prices
However a Greggs Outlet opened 5 min up road from me & I pass it on my walk to work so buy from there.
Greggs Outlets have all the surplus food that's made & sell it off for cheaper price,there's NO sell by dates,cos they just sell it off cheaper same day!
I can pick a Hot Sandwich up for £1.50 & sometimes it's 2 for £1.50
Cold Baguettes are £1.20
Flat Breads are £1.20
Pack of 4 Sausage Rolls £.1.70
Never eaten soon many Greggs Sandwiches since Greggs Outlet opened!!
janphoenix51 I see sounds like good prices! Yeah most supermarkets reduce food prices when it’s the day foods expires! We buy them when they are reduced
kitty88uk ,Yes use up quickly or freeze ready for another time,it makes sense to save,I do the same BUT I leave something for others,I don't buy everything up cheap like I have seen some people do...
Years ago in Tesco at the more affluent part of Sheffield my friend & I watched 2 well to do women buy all but 2 punnets of Strawberries for 50p each,they were very smug about it too. My friend bought a punnet & said here get this punnet before the greedy gets take every punnet so I did,the look the women gave us...Priceless!
janphoenix51 lol haha
It happens! Once at M&S a few years back so many people at a trolley full of reduced foods
It was crazy people snatching foods I managed to get some fruits and sandwiches at a bargain price
Nowadays don’t see much foods reduced happens at a certain time and there’s more people buying reduced foods
kitty88uk ..Yes cos while the rich get get RICHER the poor get POORER & need to buy reduced priced goods to make ends meet..
M&S have added a new item to the £12 meal deal. Gastro pub beef and Stilton encroute it’s my favourite meal ever so £6 a head is a bargain.
Home made is always best! Slow cooked minced beef with a can of chopped tomatoes is easy and tasty.!
GraemeRutherfor ooh that sounds so delicious simple yet filling meal thanks for sharing this recipe! Yeah homemade is much cheaper
