Not that cheap as the nearest Sainsburys is 17 miles away.
Iceland do a bigger pack that works out at the same price per pound.
If you like seafood, Mussels are £1 in Iceland, you get far more in a packet than you do in a jar. Dressed crabs are £2.50 for 2 which is pretty inexpensive. Coke is also £1.56 for 3 litres, this is the cheapest I have seen anywhere.
Bread - 2 loaves for £1.60 and milk 85p are also a cheap staple that Iceland sell. Not sure if this is Norn Iron specific or nationwide.
morrisons are doing pepsi cola 3 for the price off 1 now £1.49p now thats value ;\
Pepsi is awful stuff. 3 for 1 means the chavs kids teeth will fall out at about 3 x the normal rate now!

I met a bloke yesterday who has been living on six pies a week for nearly two months. He bought six Scotch pies and six small tins of beans every Monday. Total cost £1.84. He ate one pie and a tin of beans each day from Monday to Saturday. I asked him what he did on Sundays. Have the day off, he said. I wish I was joking.
Sainsbury's sweet 'n' sour sauce for 28p a jar was a steal, but a bit watery.
On the other end of the scale , i got stung by a bee today , £40 for a small jar of honey .
Dont buy that cheap rubbish. Learn how to cook and you can eat well without spending a lot of money.
"learn how to cook and you can eat well without spending a lot of money!!!!".........obviously somebody who doesnt actually have to try and cook cheaply!!
cooking can be very healthy and very cheap
id like to see either of you produce me a genuine steak bake for any less than 99 shiny pennies!
it can be done, if it cant, greggs are doing something wrong
good mince , oats , onion, worcester sauce, tablespoon of olive oil, pepper, one egg
big frying pan
fry chopped onion in oil
big bowl
mash mince/oats/egg together by hand - add cooked onion and ww.s. and carry on mashing by hand - get really squelchy and thoroughly mixed
take a handful and shape as a 3/4" high burger - fry in pan
unused burgers = fridge for tomorrow or shape them and freeze them
lots and lots of tasty grub here for well under £5 for 5 meals +
just add another handful or 2 of oats to make it go further
do not skimp on the little but high quality oil needed
very good and very cheap and easy peasy and quick
whats the problem?

i dont give a stuff about my body......why should i?.....if it brakes down then the fantastic n.h.s will sort it for me!.....and if not well i will just roll on into the next life and make way for someone else!
Make a meat sauce e.g. bolognaise, with budget brand tomatoes and mushrooms / carrots / onions etc bought from the market on Sunday afternoon (when they seel 'em off cheap). Make a huge batch of it, and freeze them in portion size containers.
Then, serve them with pasta, remembering to go heavy on the pasta and relatively light on the sauce, so it goes further.

Buy fresh , local food in season.....taste is everything......favourite cheap foods are carrots , onions and potatoes
celery, vastly underrated and gives fantastic flavour to stews, casseroles etc. dirt cheap
cook and use fresh ingredients.
only expensive when u buy all the carp in tescos etc , all ready made overpriced garbage

cheap food = nasty quality imo..how can iceland sell a 1kg bag of mince at 99p? becasue it's meat that not even a pig would scoff.
A mate of mine works for an industrial bakery, he told me years ago about the bread they made. Bread from the same batch was split onto two separate conveyor belts, one went into a known brand and was sold for £1 the other went into a tesco's value wrapping and was sold for 50p.
If you want to pay for your so called quality ingredients then go right ahead.

Google "mechanically recovered meat" and you'll get an idea how places like Iceland can sell that rubbish so cheaply.
Big business taking advantage of the lazy who haven't the intelligence to look after themselves properley.

wont get me eating £1 bags of mince, would rather go without..
9/08/2001 in a report on BSE
He told the BBC Radio 4's Today programme that, in one investigation, they found that while a piece of flesh cost £3.30 per kg, MRM cost just 37p a kg.
And people eat that stuff just because it's cheap and even worse feed their kids on it.
Unbelievable.
