Do you eat ready meals?
I try to avoid them but when I do they tend to be from M+S. Though I'm guessing they're probably still full of crap despite the pretty packaging! What about you?

Nah not really. Perhaps the odd Waitrose one once in a blue moon.
I just don't think they tate good, usually have too much salt in them (or sugar). It's not even so much the health aspect, so much as the taste.

No, I'm a very picky eater.

Sometimes, I try to cook for myself more than I used to now. Takes longer and is not necessarily cheaper but it does taste better, is more rewarding and often healthier as I can control exactly what's gone into it. I've found that sainsburys basics lasagne is usually superior in quality to quite expensive ready meal lasagnes. Decent amount of meat, the sauce has a good balance between meaty and tomato flavours, and the lasagne sheets are not chewy or floury.
Hardly ever. I usually opt for things like soup if I'm short on time because although I had a few ready meals last year at uni most of them didn't taste nice and I knew they were made with the lowest quality ingredients to make bigger profits. Also they are not good value for money as they can be quite expensive whilst still only weighing about 200/300g
Rarely now got put off over the whole horse meat scandal just cause you don't know what they put in them :/

does buying instant rice every now and again count as ready meal?
I do occasionally if I'm pushed for time but I much prefer cooking for myself
No chance, I hate that crap.

It depends on how busy I am or what I'm doing.
My lunches at work vary. Sometimes I get freshly prepared food and sometimes a ready meal.
We have a M&S food right by the TSR office, so I'll sometimes go there and buy a ready meal - I like their king prawn linguine a lot!
Tonight as well, I've got a chicken korma from my local Coop which I'll eat soon. But we do usually do cook from scratch too.
It's good to have a mix of home cooked food and ready meals depending on what's happening!
Yeah, at least once a week when at uni. Some days I'm just so busy and tired that I can't cook. I mainly get ASDA's chosen for you ones or Tesco's cheap own brand ones. I don't really bother with looking at what's in it cause it tastes better than my cooking :P
Nooope, none of them preservatives and addatives for me
