Blackbriar 8,568 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Its almost becoming cheaper to eat out these days if all your worried about is filling your belly.....how much is a joint of beef for a couple of people these days 10 - 15 quid ?.....then with all the veg,spuds and trimmings your looking at 20 quid at least......you can go to a carvery for a tenner each.......and let someone else have all the arse ache of cooking/washing up. Nash, i'm fairly sure you could feed a family of 5 for around £15 or just over with fresh veg and meat. £3 per person for a decent roast dinner.....nah im not having that.The Old Red Lion in Houghton Regis does a 6 day a week carvery for £3.95 each - choice of Turkey, gammon, beef or 1\2 a chicken and all the veg you can eat (peas, carrots, sweet corn, cabbage, cauli, mash and roast potatoes and a Yorkie pud thrown in !).......... We take the ma-in-law once a month. Edited August 13, 2015 by Blackbriar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My corner shop is Aldi's it also happens to be the nearest. When they mark down it is with 2 days to go on the date and they mark 30% off, No chickens marked down today though had to pay full price.

neil82 1,006 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 People should be more concerned with what they're feeding their family these days. Too many parents cant be bothered to cook their young ones a proper meal with fresh veg and meat/fish. In would rather waste a bit of food from time to time and make sure i had fresh food in the fridge at all times. I think you may find its more a case of they can`t cook anything that does not come out of a packet with the instructions written on the side, basic cooking skills are vanishing no matter how many programs there are on telly about food, needs sticking back in the school curriculum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
