I find that rather than buying ready meals, I buy more convenience ingredients! I use packet rice ,tubs of cheese sauce, ready made mash, occasionally a ready prepared joint. We buy ready made 'gruyere potatoes' from the farm shop - they are hugely expensive but lovely and we can have them anytime, DH came home with frozen cauliflower cheese lumps once. I thought he was silly but it was very nice and we have cauliflower cheese more often now that I dont actually have to make it.
These convenience ingredients are one of the bonuses of there only being 2 of us. I could never have afforded them when I was feeding 7 of us!!
