Sainsburys Stamford budget 69p frozen meals

As well as Tescos budget 65p frozen meals, Sainsburys also have their version branded Stamford for 69p.
I only discovered it recently because the white look with black words was simple yet stylish.
At first, I couldn't quite tell if it was American or English but when I looked closer I realized it was Sainsburys own brand which was impressive.

The choices were quite good, they had the all time favourites like lasagne, macaroni cheese as well as traditional English meals like beef / chicken hotpot.

Although lots of comments say the meals are bland, they are better off bland than over salty and it is an easy fix with a pinch of salt.

In total there are 7 to choose from:
Minced beef hotpot, beef lasagne, chicken curry, macaroni & cheese, spaghetti bolognese, sweet & sour chicken with rice, chicken hotpot.



I decided to try these 69ers and got the minced beef hotpot, macaroni & cheese, spaghetti bolognese and the chicken hotpot.

Chicken hotpot review:
To be honest, it wasn't bad but the sauce was too sweet because of the carrots and tasted a bit like chicken a la king.
There were a few pieces of firm chicken breast.


Beef hot pot:
The potato slices were good but the beef was not edible because it was pure chewy gristle.



Macaroni Cheese:
This was my favourite and I shall be restocking!
It tastes like bechamel more than heavy cheesy so it lighter and not so high in calories.



Beef bolognese:
To be honest it was really tasty, pasta was al dente.
However the beef wasn't edible just like the beef hotpot.
