How could that not feed 2 people for a week? How much do you eat*
more than that! What with my three meals a day I’m quite the glutton.
This would need to cover 42 meals - 14 breakfasts, 14 lunches and 14 dinners. There is no fruit, no cereal, no puddings, no snacks. The milk is 1 litre. The only breakfast option is bread and the lunch option is bread too. The loaf only has 20 slices so even at a frugal one slice each, that isn’t going far! I did get a steak bake, but just the one so I guess that could be cut in two and shared with a can of baked beans for one lunch. The pack of rice is tiny. The other carbs are the pasta, maybe four servings, though like several other posters my pack was ripped so some was wasted. The potatoes, maybe four servings perhaps slightly more. The protein, I’d get 4 servings from a pack of quorn that size IF I bulked it out with other veg, but say 4 per pack plus another 2.5 from the sausages, so 10.5 of 14
portions needed? I would like to see the suggested meal plan; like the ones that often feature in the popular press, I suspect it would involve double counting of some of the items plus the addition of other items not actually included in the box.
I’m not knocking it; it’s ok. It’s an option. I can see it has a place and I can see where the costs other than the food itself come in. It’s a Mumsnet chicken too far to claim its sufficient for a normal week or several weeks in a row though.
