Letter: Kwik, cheap and healthy meals
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I REALLY must protest at David Nicholson-Lord's condemnation of the discount store, Kwik Save ('Rambutan for the rich, beans for the broke', 23 May). He obviously doesn't shop there, but if he did, he would discover that with 2lbs of frozen peas or sprouts at 49p, bread at 29p a loaf and orange juice at 41p a litre, it is perfectly possible to feed two teenage boys and an adult a healthy diet on about pounds 35 a week. Olive oil, oatbran, fresh fruit and meat are available while the humble baked bean is a mere 16p a tin.
