    I could probably pig out on enough microwave popcorn to make it a meal :coma:

    The only nice ones I've ever had have been from M&S, sorry!

    Tesco do a range called "Eat Live Enjoy" which is really nice (quite expensive but good quality ready meals always are really). They're nice and fresh with lots of veg.

    Birds eye do a great chicken korma with quite a generous portion for £1.50 which i've been living on for the past month because of study leave, im sure you can find it at your local corner shop.

    The taste of his lies makes them bitter indeed.

    I have a very soft spot for Tesco mac n' cheese- the 2 for £5 one obv its better oven cooked but when times call for a quick meal that hits the spot.

    I really like the tesco vegetable lasagne for when I'm desperate and don't have time to cook.

    Quesadillas! Unless you meant meals that are "freezer to microwave", in which case I do not support your cause

    The City Kitchen Sicilian Chicken Pasta from tesco is good, and it's worth it for £3.75 also they do linguine with King Prawns which is also a bargain at the same price.

    The Sainsburys tuna pasta bake is good and their lasagne is tasty or you could just microwave a potato and shove some beans and cheese on -mmmmm

    Thanks for the replies! I don't live near most of these shops sadly, it's either Tesco or Morrisons for me. Where do they sell Levi Roots meals? I haven't seen them, but I love the sauce so I'd like to give those a try.
