Outrageously overpriced baby food

The average person on an average income wouldn’t usually be buying such things, except as a one off.

Personally I was grateful for the jars of baby food now and then, once mine were maybe around 7-8 months. No need to refrigerate, very handy for taking to the beach, as we often did then at weekends.

Most people, that I know, and me, wouldn’t buy ready-prepared food, (do you mean a “baby” or toddler), for an infant.

Mine had the same food as us once weaned (but without salt and mashed when tiny)

If I was going to lunch with someone with a baby or toddler I’d take their food with me.

It’s very kind of you to buy something special (though it sounds awful) for said visiting infant.

Bought a Little Dish fish pie at Sainsbury's for visiting infant. Less than a cupful of mush which smelt of fish, but encased in plastic and JUST SHORT OF 4 QUID. Outrageous. No one on an average income could afford that
