Cheap eats for London Part 3

The cheapest of cheap eats is obviously supermarket food!

As a general rule of thumb, this is the rank in terms of taste

1) M&S, Waitrose
2) Sainsbury
3) Tesco, Asda etc.

In terms of price??

Use the same list, the other way round. It is fair isnt it? Pay more, get more yummy, healthier food.

M&S "Food to go" are yummy, but at a price. Eg of price list?
Bacon Roll, £2.50
Sausage and Egg Bagel £3.00
Porridge £1.30
Singapore Noodles with Chicken and King Prawns £3.75

Sainsburry have some nice sandwiches, and the bigger branches have a whole roasted chicken going for £3.99. It is also interesting to taste their interpretation of "Asian Food". Talking about Asian food, my general rule of thumb is stay away from Tesco!

Tesco's Sandwiches are cheap-less than £1.00 to 3.00 and generally very filling, especially you picked the "deep fill" options, with a huge amount of fillings. These sandwiches are generally high in calories, with that amount of cheese and mayonaise heaped inside. These are great for a filling meal, but if you want something more "healthy", go for the "healthy living" Brand for Tesco, which would be much cheaper than Weight Watchers' sandwiches. However, I find the taste really bland! So, the compromise? Get from Boots! They have a miximum limit of £3.50 for meal (sandwiches or salads) + snacks + drinks for £3.50.

Dying for some vege? Get some coleslaw at 25 p from Sainsbury.

Still too expensive?
Then just resign to eating donuts, buy a pack, and it will come up to only 10p per donut. Or if you stay near a Budgens, the one at Porchester is great- go there about 1 hour before closing and get all the French pastries you want for 15 p each, a whole baguette for 19 p each 1/2 roast chicken for 99p a loaf of premium bread from between 20-49 p.... For less than £1.00, you will get enough to feed 1 person for a day.

How much cheaper do you need to go?
