How many " pre-prepared" things do you buy?

Frozen peas, onion rings in breadcrumbs, cheese and onion flan, sage and onion stuffing, but not much else.

Frozen veg in case I need it, frozen Yorkshires ( Mrs Patmores!) and a few bits from M&S like mash ( hate cooking the stuff) and they do some very nice ready meals, and quiches.

I do keep frozen veg in. Peas green beans and usually spinach. When I get the chance I buy short dated quiches for the freezer and as I am a vege.
I also keep in a packet of vegemince.

I buy quorn fillets plain which is just like using frozen chicken breasts and usually have one or two packets of of ready stuffed tortellini. also the odd vege ready nut roast or bean burgers or such. Asda vege Lincolnshire sausages are lovely.
I have a stash of homemade soup and Enchiladas as we make 8 at a time eat two each and freeze the 4 that are left. I don't often eat complete ready meals. I buy such shortdated reduced stuff as rice and sag alloo as stuff to liven up a curry.

I use all the usual ones: frozen veg, pastry, tinned toms etc but at this time of year I ensure I also have certain things in the freezer. Mince, chopped onions, sliced mushrooms, frozen mash and Sainsbury's do a good range of frozen stewing steak and ready sliced stew veg. Then I know if we get snowed in, I can still produce stew, or spag bol or shepherds pies without needing fresh produce.

I rarely buy ready produced meals unless I'm on a diet and want a strictly calorie controlled meal just for me, but we do have the occasional beef or chicken pie or fish cakes, do they count as ready meals?

I wouldn't consider frozen veg to be pre-prepared. It enables us to eat a wide variety of vegetables out of season. If you do consider frozen veg as preprepared what about tinned goods, tomatoes, tomato paste, baked beans? Sauces - tomato, brown, saald cream. mayonnaise?

Surely pre-prepared food means items that are normally made at home but can also be bought - like yorkshire puds etc.

What do I buy? Steak & kidney puddings,pies and pastry, I have yet to make decent pastry myself.

Puff Pastry and a filled pasta (typical German) because nobody makes their own. I do have to make my own Yorkshire puds though, and we grate our own cheese as Parmasan tastes a bit mouldy if not freshly grated.

I pride myself on rarely using anything pre-prepared so why do have frozen gf yorkshires, gf oven chips, gf battered onion rings, peas, grated cheese ( more economical than grating from a block) and Sainsbury's 3 cheese sauce because it is gf.

Frozen peas, chips and sweet corn. Also puff pastry, make my own shortcrust. Battered fish, scampi. Lidls meatballs, handy to do quick meal. Very occasionally pork pie or similar savoury things, and ham etc.

Hardly anything. Frozen peas and sweetcorn, oven chips for when the DGSs drop in for supper and I haven't been warned, Aldi meatballs for the same reason, tinned tomatoes....can't think of anything else.

Oh, I wouldn't be without gravy granules.

Frozen pastry. With an oil-fired cooker/boiler thing my kitchen is always warm and and fresh handmade pastry suffers (my excuse).

Delia says shop bought pastry made with butter is quite acceptable, so I feel no guilt.

Frozen peas, broccoli, chopped onions. Frozen unbaked yorkies, scampi.

Frozen peas and chips (I don't eat chips, so can do a few for DH and I have a jacket potato which I manage to cook myself!)

I have bought quite a few pre-prepared items when I am in a rush or very tired when coming home from a long day out.
We also like the M&S £10 meals, but more often than not I will buy the fresh chicken with the meal deal as it is the best buy.
I then have to cook it myself, but not pluck or draw it.

Lots of our fruit and veg are home-grown and frozen by us, so I'm not that lazy.

Frozen peas.

Oh sorry,do buy frozen chips and peas.

Chips, peas, broad beans - all frozen, and more recently I've bought frozen berries because fresh ones (especially blueberries) are so variable in quality and taste.

I occasionally buy ready-prepared chicken dishes such as chicken with olives and tomato but only if I'm in a hurry.

Frozen pastry - because I've never mastered making it from scratch!

Frozen yorkshires, onion and peppers, can't chop very well.

Frozen peas and beans.
Filled pasta and sauces to go with it.
Very occasionally an instant dinner, if we've been away and I can't be arsed don't feel like cooking.

Frozen yorkshires never been able to make grated cheese I always eat the bits that don't grate so tell myself I'm saving money and cutting calories and recently because they was on offer frozen jacket potatoes delicious

Very little, I'm too tight.

Frozen Yorkshires (to my eternal shame!) and, like tanith, the odd pie. But I am all for people making life easier if it suits them and saves them time.

parsnip & carrot mash ?

I have frozen chopped onions and peppers to use when we've got no fresh in.
Depends how lazy I feel about buying other pre prepared stuff.

Grated cheese. Hate grating anything. And ready chopped onions. Mash as a special treat. (They do make it a bit high fat with the butter and cream but it is delicious)

I do buy frozen uncooked yorkshires, and the odd pie, and scampi but certainly not mash or grated cheddar can't think of anything else.
