A Marks and Spencer (M&S) shopper was left speechless after trying a £2 budget meal from the chain that can rival ASDA's Just Essentials food and Aldi's budget offering. While ASDA Just Essentials and Aldi may seem like cheaper options, M&S has plenty of budget options available on offer if you look hard enough.
Earlier this year the Manchester Evening News compared a variety of food from M&S and Aldi. You can read the full piece here, but our reporter concluded that, while some Aldi dishes were far better value than M&S, the M&S items were generally of superior quality.
But shopping at M&S doesn't always have to be expensive. One shopper from our sister publication the Liverpool Echo discovered you can cook a fresh meal for £2 for yourself thanks to the retailer. As well as providing low cost, high quality ingredients for healthy meals, M&S is also giving shoppers recipe cards written by Michelin star chef Tom Kerridge to help ease the cooking process.
