Fwiw, this is also available in M for £2. I think I've not paid much attention to this ever since I got a 4+ 2 free version from A for £1.50 several years back:rotfl:. I really don't compare against expensive 50p each soups nowadays, unless there is some glitch.

I don't have full confidence in the APG picking up the M price - however what do I know and maybe my thinking it might not work says something? I don't give any guarantee:rotfl:. The product is widespread enough for me - it's just that I don't think it's in the right location in the stores (but maybe I haven't noticed it in the 'right' place as I don't pay much attention to the product at this price? - although I have noticed it and, once I saw the product and offer label, I didn't need to enquire more into it than that).

I've had a brilliant day today.

I've had this idea chasing around in my head for years.

One of the downfalls of giving food parcels is that it doesn't really solve a lot of the underlying problems. It's a sort of stopgap measure...like a sticking plaster.
One of the underlying problems is lack of knowledge/ experience/ not being able to shop and cook on a budget.

Imagine picking up a food parcel and attached to it, is a volunteer with a carrier bag of ingredients who would go back to your house with you and show you how to cook a very basic family meal. Imagine the kids coming home to a tasty casserole. :T:T
So ....you start with a very basic repertoire of 4/5 meals, costed out at between £2 and £3 per meal for 4 for example.
There's lots of things to be ironed out....health and safety:o and risk assessments:o, lack of cooking equipment ....some families are without even the most basic cookery stuff:o

Anyway I did a pitch for some funding today and it went really well. I feel really hopeful that this sort of intervention could make a huge difference to people...improving their health and lifestyle.

There's an army of women out there who are savvy shoppers and brilliant cooks. If we could match them with the young families who are struggling it would be a dream come true:)

What do you think?:)

:eek: How rude. I would help, think of all the yummy mummys that need the DM touch

DM - how have you find British Pie Week?

According to John Bishop on Late Night With ... the top pie in the North is Steak and Potato (we would know it as Meat and Potato :A).

In the South? Bannoffee Pie :eek:

I ask you, I wonder if we are the same country sometimes ..

Anon

Now lets be serious, can a bonoffie pie EVER be a pie, really??
Everyone loves a bit of meat in their pie

The £2.58 price for M looks right according to msm but I would not know such high prices (unless perhaps an item has just come off offer in M but then the now expired offer would have had to have been good enough in the first place for me to notice the item and the fact it (whatever item "it" hypothetically is) had gone up). I don't know why this particular item hasn't compared against S.

That's twice (at least, maybe there were more?) that I have used the word "hypothetical" in the last few hours. Maybe my favourite word:rotfl:. Actually my "favourite" words - or favourite (you decide whether there are quotes there or not) - are all words that I am not allowed to post here:o:rotfl::rotfl:. Or "favorite" if you are from the US of A.

(To clarify more - most people would have been happy without clarification, but then would unknowingly have been left with a wrong impression but I am keen to ensure such an impression is not given: I don't like all words that I can't post - some I only like depending on context* - but, of the words that I like and are my favourites, none of them are postable! If that's a word - postable (a word that I can post:(:rotfl:).):D:)

*For example, a word that in some contexts is racist, I only like (maybe on some random occasions but not others?:think:) in contexts in which it is not (although some people think it is unacceptable in all contexts, or alternatively that it is unacceptable regardless of context or none, so it's all a matter of everyone having different standards and no-one having a monopoly over what is acceptable or not). But I obviously did have a fondness (whether sub-conscious or not) for using the word "hypothetical" earlier, so that's either all good or all good too, depending on your view, or neutral or indifferent or not good at all:eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: or maybe something else (I have no idea what people might think or what opinions or views are within the realms of human possibility:rotfl:). Ir's a good word, rolls off the tongue: hy-po-thethical:cool:.
