Why do I do it!?

Like a lot of GNs I tend to bulk cook and then freeze down into individual portions. Today I left the house in a hurry and forgot to take anything out of the freezer so on the way home I called into the supermarket and bought a "ready meal" (yes yes I know but I don't do it often and I had a busy afternoon and was tired).

When I have bought these in the past I have always been disappointed and tonight was no different. I bought what was supposed to be a braised beef casserole but the only thing stopping it being very bland was the overuse of pepper! A few mouthfuls and it went in the bin - I had a sandwich for my dinner tonight!

Now I know these meals are rubbish but I still bought one - so why do I do it?

Because you are tired and probably hungry! The most dangerous time to be in a supermarket.
