Eat Well For Less? continues to show viewers how they can make their money go further and on Thursday's, June 23 hosts Jordan Banjo and Chris Bavin debate whether fresh food is truly better than frozen - with perhaps some surprising results. Earlier in the series, Jordan and Chris showed a breakfast calorie swap, which you can read about here.
In this week's episode, the team were on-hand to help the White family improve their foodie spending habits. The family, who's fridge "confused" Chris, were spending extortionate amounts on takeaways and having dinners out. Despite a weekly shop costing £75, the Whites spend an extra £100 on food in restaurants and on takeaways.
The subject of fresh vs. frozen came up when Jordan said: “A lot of people, myself included, feel that fresh is a bit healthier and more nutritious and the best way to go, even if it means spending more money.” The presenter and dancer described how, although his family mainly relied on tinned food, their attitude to fresh food was that it was always better for you.
