Emma Gill from the MEN decided to give the range a go to see how cheaply she could feed her entire family
As food costs continue to soar, many families will be looking for ways to keep their bills down during the weekly supermarket shopping trip.
The range has been such a hit, that the supermarket has had to temporarily 'ration' the amount of items shoppers can buy, with many being limited to just three of the same item in one shop. "I had to make a meal plan for our teas to make it work and that's something most people swear by to help keep costs down. On a typical week I don't plan it out as rigidly, which inevitably leads to either another shopping trip where I spend even more when things catch my eye, or a rather uninspiring beige tea from whatever's languishing in the freezer.
"It's always cheaper to make your own meals and the two big 2.5kg bags of white potatoes, costing just 99p each, gave me enough spuds for the Sunday dinner, a corned beef hash and a huge portion of mash to go with the battered fish. "Meat is usually one of the most expensive parts of a big shop, but the whole chicken, costing £3.19, was enough for the Sunday roast with enough leftover for a curry.
