If there are no instant noodles there, it’s no student pantry.

Those are useless. What a student needs:
– olive oil
– crushed chili
– a small plant pot of basil
– oregan
– tins of tomatoes, tuna, beans.
– pasta

With those ingredients (plus garlic and onions) they can prepare a kazillion of dishes. Cheap and tasty. 🖖

Lol my local Asda does 12 packs of chicken and mushroom pot noodle. (The correct flavour)

I thought that was luxurious…

But some people …

Haha! I have all of those in my cupboard, but then I’m not a student!

I have none of those in my cupboard. Not one.

My kids all went away with those…and now my grandchildren ask for extra black olives on their salad

1: The combined cost is roughly the same as a round in the pub & will make value pasta, wonky veg & reduced sticker meat taste nice for months for pennies per meal.
2: It’s Waitrose. They’re not going to be advertising oven chips & Pot Noodles, are they? https://t.co/clk8zdCDVN

Maybe we’re just out of touch. Anyone know the nearest Aldi?

Could we have an @AldiUK version…for most it will be more realistic. https://t.co/tJyNmpIZAY
