To the people listing ingredients to demonstrate just how cheap it is to make meals for poor people: Go on then. But you can’t use seasoning, any pots & pans, utensils, cutlery, crockery, heat of any kind or a kitchen because they cost money too.
Or you could just fuck off.

It’s not just the fact you have to buy & make cheap food for your kids. It’s the fact that everything else is expensive.

Please don’t be a dickhead & start putting up £3 meal recipes like a fucking air & arsehole omelette like your kids would eat that, day in, day out.

Dudes with cars/footballers/paintings as profile pictures: if you could solve food poverty by telling people that pasta is cheap, it would’ve happened a long time ago so maybe, and don’t mean to be rude here, that isn’t the solution?

Tom Hale brought us full circle with his assessment of the situation.

Tories on here suddenly offering recipes for cheap meals made out of soil and an egg like an evil Jack Monroe.
