You can buy a turkey or ham [one , not both ]for 50 dollars, rice-onions and peas for 10 dollars, cooking oil for 5 dollars, canned mixed vegetables for 3 dollars, soda and ice cream for 15 dollars. There for 85 dollars you can feed 5-6 people and the food will last for boxing day too. You just have to tighten the belt.

I fully understand why this is there. As it happened to me, while I have in my possession a zero balance receipt, a doctor wants to charge me a lot of money to write a letter to my NHI doctor so I can switch my care to the public sector.
