Morrisons have a 19 piece English Fry-up for £6 and i'm legit salivating.

But it can definitely be cheaper right? I want to know what methods you guys have for keeping costs down during your fry ups! :j

    Have unbranded cereal instead.

    My tip would be: Don't try to cook 19 items...... just stick to 3-4 :)

    Pedant alert, a fry up does not contain cereal, except in cheap bangers;);)

    Why would anyone think 19 items on a fry was a good idea?

    I'm going to buck the trend and say it doesn't look bad value for a breakfast out. I'd never eat even the half of it though!

    So, cook normal portions at home.

    Methods for 'keeping costs down'?
    Personally, I'd be more concerned with keeping quality up.
    So, I doubt I'd buy this breakfast.
    '2 black puddings'?
    No.
    The black pudding I buy is from a proper butcher and it's a slice from a large pudding.
    I think the article means '2 slices of black pudding sausage' - which I wouldn't give plate room.

    But a vegetarian version - tomatoes, mushrooms and beans with toast - would instantly be healthier. Although still a lunchtime serving.
