Heads Up - Sainsburys. "Look What We Found" meals 1/2 price

[screwdriver]

working in sainsbury newbury today bought 7 of each ,cheaper than ready meals and alot healthier as well.
have looked at these online before but couldnt be bothered to order didnt realise sainsbury sold them, every time i check this forum i end up spending money

These things are lovely- its just a shame you need two of them and a slice of bread to feel full.

I agree, but usually have some rice or pasta to bulk it out.

well ive tried the hot pot and the beef with porter and im very impressed the best tasting ready meal ive ever eaten.
they are small meals on there own but no smaller that your average ready meal of the same price.
but what i am amazed at is that the beef porter if it was a sainsbury ready meal would be about 25-30 grams of fat and high in sat fat, but this is 7.2g actually less than the equivilant weight watchers tastless meals and only natural ingrediants, i would happily buy these at full price lets hope sainsburys continue to sell them

They are 99p in Morrisons, I got one of each they had. Two pasta sauce ones and a chilli sauce one. Just need to cook some rice/pasta to go with them I guess

 

[screwdriver]

the ones you bought are the sauces, not the ready meals which are dearer and on a different isle

They are under "meals" on the Look what we found website, I couldn't edit my previous reply to add what they were called when I went to look what ones they actually are. beef bolognese with italian herbs, Chill con carne and Beef bolognese with basil and oregano (which i cant see on their website for some reason..)

I had both at the Comrie meet. I find them both to be very good but the Bolognese is a little too strongly flavoured with herbs for me ( less is more... ) the chilli is great though and makes a good breakfast.

Cheers bud ,were did you get them from , or did you buy through the net

No problem, I worded my original post badly.

So I had the chilli con carne one for my dinner tonight, just to see what they were like. I was impressed, its pretty tasty for a ready meal (not really a fan of normal ready meals).

Took some pics just to show what it looks like out the packet.

The packet

Heating up..

With some rice I had prepared earlier (microwaved..)

They had chilli con carne and beef fellside beef casserole - the shelf life is 8-10 months on what i bought (norwich sainsburys) but i havent tried them yet. The portions look ok but only ok - im a big lad! May need filling out with something. I couldnt remember the brand name when i went in and asked an assistant who looked a little bemused but when i said non-refrigerated and for camping she took me straight to the shelf!

 

[johnnythefox]

the co-op has crunchy nut cornflakes for a £1
i can eat them out the box without milk good for a bush breakfast or late night snack!

 

[greensurfingbear]

thanks for the heads up. I picked up 2 packs of the chilli (all that was left) it was only 99p at Morrisons.

You should find that most of the supermarkets do them, the chilli and bolognese plus maybe meatballs are usually cheaper than the others and quite often for some reason separate. Morrisons also dow their own brand beans / spagetti / sausage but they are a bit on the miserly side. The labels used to be paper stickon jobs which was a pain as they broke up and came off when you were boiling but I see they are now moving over to direct printed packs. There are pretty regular promotions on them which we grab a few and keep them for weekend DofE trips etc, a couple of chillis and a stove have resided in the boot of my car over the winter!
