I miss the vast selection of ready meals. My diet was shocking when I lived in the UK as ready meals were available in copious amounts in all supermarkets. And although I do eat more fresh food here I do miss the ease of them sometimes.
And percy pigs, there large selection of cocktail food at xmas and there chips and dips!
Mmm can you tell I only ever visited the food section!

Well made ready meals with decent mix of groups can be more cost effective than making your own with loads of waste and a dam site faster...

If you are only making stuff for one or two by the time you only need small amount of pots and veg etc. it's easier just to buy a small amount in the first place.
