Today I’m eating a Sainsbury’s Basics range Macaroni Cheese meal cooked in the microwave. It tastes of virtually nothing. Although it was stupidly cheap so I suppose that makes up for it.
Coincidentally I came upon this chap who has spent the month of November living on a food budget of only $30. That’s about 50p a day for those of us over here.
My Macaroni Cheese Meal cost 86p, for a small volume of food, which tastes awful. The worst part of it was that I was quite pleased when buying it: “Wow, this’ll save some money.”
I’ve restored a little perspective on the situation now, though, and shan’t be spending less than £2 on a ready meal ever again…
