Valentine's meal deal...people have become so shameless.

[surrealpotato]

AIBU to think that people have become shameless, selfish and greedy?

I noticed the Asda Valentine's meal for two offer earlier this week: starter, main, two sides, pudding, and a bottle of wine, all for £12 quid. Amazing deal really and a nice idea for a night in together.

Went back today to get it... Absolute hoards round the fridge, loading their trollies with multiples meals worth, everything times five or six... scrambling for all the best dishes. By the times I got to the fridge there was hardly anything left.

Am I being unreasonable, or have people always been like this?? I'd be embarrassed to do that, but no-one seemed to care.

Hinny, that's not cook from scratch. But you enjoyed it, could afford it, and that's what matters.

Although I don’t know why people see ready meals as a treat. Quite the reverse in my view. Never well cooked & always over flavoured and just disappointing, compared with what I can cook.

Sounds like my local M&S in weybridge! The fridges were surrounded!

Zen?

Yeah. Maybe. Ty xx

Yeah, it's a strange alien world. Love and strength to you and @hopes2409

Just a mini one! It's hard when you're someone who doesn't always think about themselves 100% of the time shrugs

They want to sell stock. To whom is irrelevant.

I don't think of myself 90% percent of the time, I still couldn't give a shit if I get the last ready meal off a shelf. That's a worry too many. 😁

This plain fact is apparently harder to digest than a over processed meal for two.😁

Same in m and s today I left pronto 🤣

I guarantee it’ll all end up being served in restaurants at triple the price

Who or what is “hinny?!”

Google it, Hinny. It's an amazing resource at your fingertips.

Come on. Wtaf?

I'm really sorry @hopes2409. Wishing you strength for the path ahead.

Yes. Why do some people pounce on some lighthearted threads with Elevenerife tales?
What do they get out of it?

A thread about valentine meals... and someone has to ay they should be grateful they have someone for valentine. Why?

Life is not a competition, so why make it one, and why upset yourself on MN over it?

Why should people have shame in a good deal ?

🤣

Probably! I do tend to overthink. I just hate the thought of taking something that someone else might really want/need. Probably not so much over a ready meal but maybe more an essential item.

It's all going to end up in the same place regardless of when it's eaten.

There’s a pizza place in my California area that’s been advertising a “heart-shaped pizza.”
It irritates the hell outta me because they charge way more for this and all they do is put a heart-shaped indent in a large round pizza and call it their “Valentine’s Day special.”
I suppose a new couple might like it.
Or perhaps a man in the doghouse might try it.
I can’t think of anybody else.

I bought 6 valentines meal deals. 2 for tomorrow to feed my family and the other 4 as we are going to an air b and this week for 4 nights sc for half term. So I froze them ad will bring 2, eat out one night and get a takeaway one night. So I won't be cooking on holiday.

Why can't I buy 6? Who says they must be consumed on Valentine's day? It is a good deal!

I think we've become more grabby since the Covid pandemic.

That poster is going through something shattering. You can choose to ignore it if that's better for your equilibrium.

Just have a bit of heart.
