M&S Meal Plans UK

Paying for Preparation Rather Than Food

Trimmed, chopped and part-cooked ingredients are the expensive kind of convenience, and on a low-effort week they are also the useful kind. If the alternative to a slightly pricier basket is not cooking at all, the maths looks different from the way it looks on a spreadsheet.

Produce quality is consistently high, which matters more here than the price comparison suggests: food cooked on Sunday and eaten on Thursday is a harder test than food eaten the day it is bought.

This is the practical limit. M&S packs are smaller than at the big four, which is fine for a single person or a couple and awkward for bulk batch cooking - you end up buying three of something where another store sells one large pack more cheaply.
