The Cost of Living

We've spent most of the week on a CL caravan site in Broadway, Warwickshire. 

When we're away in the van, we usually bring enough food with us to last for the duration but, as Hay hasn't been feeling too well of late, we decided to either get 'Cook' meals (Cook being a company that specialises in high quality frozen food) or take-aways.

On Monday we bought some very nice Cook meals from the local Co-Op in Broadway - £9.45 for a double portion which you merely slam in the oven for 45 minutes. 

On Wednesday we though we'd get a take-away from the local fish and chip shop, until we discovered that the price was £27.90 for two fish and chips, admittedly with peas and a lemon wedge, but I found that exorbitant.

It's strange that Cook meals haven't really changed that much in price, whereas fish has gone through the roof.
