Lidl do a frozen range of Indian meals that are usually £2 each. The Chicken Jalfreze is expecially good with decent size portions of pilau rice and hot spicy curry with plenty of chicken. Friends of mine love them too, with the Tikka Masala being a second favourite. From 28th September they are half price so make sure you have plenty of room in the freezer as they're a bargain.
Lidl is currently my favourite shop especially since a fortnight ago a brand new one was opened in Evesham, my nearest town 
I'm going tomorrow as it happens - too early for the special price but will definitely get a curry or two to try.
Other good Lidl products: (we should add to this as things come up!)
- Walnut and Zabaglione icecream - delicious, huge tub for £1.99
- Maple Pecan Crisp cereal - 99p - lots of pecans, crunchy, absolutely delicious
- Lidl Parmesan - not specially cheap but the nicest I've had
- black pepper, mixed pepper and rock salt in disposable grinders that really work
Had one of these today - I went for the Chicken Balti in the end as it didn't sound as hot as the Jalfresi - have to agree, really impressive for a Ready Meal - loads of nice chicken meat, delicious sauce with tomatoes and excellent flavour
Another good Lidl buy - Knights' Handcooked Crisps - like Kettle Chips but a mere 89p a packet.
Lidl chocolate is always excellent value and good quality.
You're making me feel hungry. Tikka Masala is a particular favorite of mine 
Ready meals take a lot of stick, but if you get the right ones they can be pretty good. I'm sure not as good as merry could cook, but as good or better than anything I could.
We have a Lidl near-ish to us, but Creature is lazy and just doubles back to Morrison's after he has dropped his car-share friend.
Not that Creature spends very much anyway.
I bought half a dozen of these ready meals today, four jalfrezi and two tikka masala. My freezer was already nearly full so it is now bursting at the seams. Lidl's top quality own brand German pils lager called Grafen Walder was also on sale at 50p a can, just right to wash it down.
Other bargains were an 800g wholemeal sliced loaf at 65p, a nice fresh iceberg lettuce 29p, and some fresh bananas 47p/kg.
Don't you find you just eat more if the house is full of nice things to eat though.
So it ends up costing more as you eat more.
I don't really eat more if the house is full of nice things, except at Christmas when I throw all caution to the winds and usually put on about 8lb 
at least!
But I am quite enjoying an Economy Drive at the moment, there's definite pleasure to be had from seeing how cheaply, but well, one can eat. This only works for me because I am a belly-pork and value yoghurt with home-made-jam sort of person by nature, but Mr Merry and Jay somehow only seem to be able to digest fillet steak and brand-name cereal 
lol at the fillet steak, Merry! As you know Andy will only eat the finest cuts and am glad he is returned to uni now as the six meals a day required for building muscles was putting a strain on the meagre finances! 
I can imagine! We brung up them kids orl wrong didn't we! 
Though maybe their expecting the finer things in life will mean they try for well-paid jobs (or marry money! )
