The energy company that has a complete monopoly in my building out their rates up 5 times as much in January try to claim inflation and cost of gas is the cause and they have no choice. Absolute criminals
Hardly a lecture.Ffs I only posted the picture to show how obscene the price hikes are. Didn’t expect a culinary lecture from Lloyd Grossman himself
This is a cost of living thread, and the poster you're mocking offered a sensible tip for avoiding the impact of a price hike you correctly identified. That tip might not work for everyone, but it WILL work for some. Convenience food is an absolute money drain for ANY family.
I really don't think your response was warranted.
Funny..."I don't complain about the price of expensive, convenience food." sounds down right condescending from here. It isn't a first either from one of the two 'alright jacks'...
He also implied people are lazy because they don’t cook from scratch.
It was a lecture.
Just need @Bruce Wayne to come and put all of our fears at ease. Apparently the 18% increase to my phone and broadband bill, and the 12% increase to our child's nursery fees are only temporary and will come back down. Therefore no need for anyone to require a pay rise....
Think it's a bargaining tool. Meet half way sort of thing. Civil servants have had a 2 percent pay rise this year after zero percent last year and a max of one percent since the banks did everyone over. All other public sector got much more than that but let's not make it a race to the bottom. The powers that be are intent on turning us all against each other so let's not let them win.

No. But, if i was, it would only take me a few minutes extra to make a home-made pasta sauce from scratch... it may take a bit longer, but it is is 75% cheaper... an acceptable trade-off...
I love it when someone volunteers someone else, it's a real window into the 'do as I says not as I do's' types*

What a lot of people don’t understand is that many people have been brought up in chaotic households. Things like meal prep and planning are things they’ve never learnt or seen before.
Lads. Don’t know if it’s the right thread for it but it’s just took me 90 mins and 6 different supermarkets to find a cucumber.
