What do you pay for your meal in a box in these hard times?

No point doing it more than 4 meals as you can get caught out with invites out for meals etc. In fact I think we'll go back on 3 meals next time.

Here's the Aus Link if your interested. Is it the same mob?

That's pretty much my point.


58 quid is a shitload of money to spend on 4 meals x 2 - especially as you're eating leftovers for 3 of them.


There are a lot of people who have to make £58 last a lot longer than 4 meals but still serve up fresh, tasty, nutritious meals.


Hello Fresh just annoys me - hence my post in the thread.

Indeed . Australia has gotten really exspensive over the last few years. To me the quality of the food has gone down. Some stuff like , believe it or not lamb needs a small loan to buy.

Not surprised at that 100 AUD meals cost as you just need to go into Coles or Woolworths to see what it costs to make up a meal as it often twice the price of UK equivalents.

Okay petal.

All I am saying here is that you already gave us your Get Carter act on your first post on this subject and then backtracked from that position.

If I were to place a small wager, I would fancy the accumulation odds of 1) you having to persevere through several more episodes of tantrums and shows of dissent (I wonder where she gets it from 'You can take it with what you want matey' might be a clue, and 2) at some stage inside the next 2 years she will be putting dents in your motor.

None of that is a dig at you. It's just the way this works - it's the story of my life.

Please don't see this as 'Packed Lunches' Part II - I could do without the slightly threatening PMs or negs or whatever they were..

I would say from about 2007 onwards the standard of living in comparison to other countries has dropped. Obviously since 2016 the pace of the decline has accelerated exponentially. I think even Slovakia has a better standard of living than the UK now.

Anyway, as you were.

I'm extremely annoyed that your post shows absolutely no annoyance whatsoever - and even more that you had Goulash in Slovakia but I haven't (yet)! :veryangry :supergrin:

It was a little bit annoying that, having made the effort to get the train from Vienna for the day, we could see next to nothing of Bratislava due to the weather. But we were young (ish) and newly in love, so that - and the food - overcame the disappointment.
