I always feel uncomfortable when wealthy people (or supermarkets) point out how us poor people can feed ourselves cheaply. Trying to make us happier with our lot?
“Do as I say not as I (need to) do” always comes to mind.

We’d do much better thank you if Jeremy Hunt increased our personal allowance before paying tax.

Now that would really be something us poorer folk could cheer.

I think you’re right Sago.

I think a lot of Jamie’s target audience would possibly not know to put a lid on a saucepan to save energy.

Came across this on channel 4 by accident. Jamie Oliver reacting to current food prices and showing how to make nice, nourishing meals on a budget.

Just wondering when this was made as last night he made a potato, tuna dish, and his recipe showed that can of tuna at 58p, Not priced at that in my Sainsbury's,

Just shows of the stupid increaases that means that between ther time he made these programmes anes are so much more.d them being aired, the prices show on them are so much more.

Good recipes though, down to earth ingredients. Do wonder how much olive oil he seems to use in everything. Love it when he keeps telling us to put a lid on a saucepan 'in order to save fuel', like we did not know that.
