Well I decided to try out the Economy Gastronomy lamb shoulder tumbledown set of meals to see how it worked out for us as we had MIL for the weekend. I didn't keep track of the exact cost so am using Tesco.com to give me a rough idea.
The food was tasty and satisfied everyone but had I paid full price for the joint it would have been and incredibly expensive set of meals. Having said that it would have been more expensive had I not whisked away the leftovers and made up the shepherds pie.
The breakdown is below but the summary is :
Sunday Night
Roast Lamb with salad dip and pitta - £1.54 per head
Monday Lunch
MIL Salad and Dip - £1.19
Us (Salad, dip & pizza) - £1.56
