There’s a lot that goes into the much-loved weekly meal - your meat of choice, or veggie alternative, roast potatoes, carrots, greens, Yorkshire puddings, gravy and whatever else you simply can’t go without. However, the price can quickly rack up, especially as the cost of living continues to rise.
