How would you feed these flatmates with £30?
How to feed your different flatmates?
In recent weeks, photos have flooded the internet showing the government’s new food parcels to kids on free school meals. Regardless of how much we individually eat, we can mostly agree that the value of the food in these government parcels was far below £30!
Here at Ideal Flatmate, we appreciate that everyone has their own needs in terms of food. So, we’ve decided to create our own food parcels that match the type of flatmate you could encounter! You will realise that most of the food parcels we show is under the price of £30, yet we are still able to boast a more exciting and satisfying selection than the government issued ones.
All prices are taken from Tesco.
The GYM LOVER FLATMATE
I think it’s safe to say we’ve all had a flatmate that loves hitting the gym, so this parcel is all about gaining muscle! In this you will find a combination of protein and carbohydrates to build that size and frame you’ve always wanted. At ideal flatmate we always encourage exercise, but for significant results in the gym, most professionals will tell you that its 70% diet and 30% exercise to gain true results. Now with that being said, it does mean purchasing a lot of food on a consistent basis so this could end up burning a hole in your pocket!

THE VEGAN FLATMATE
Nowadays, more and more people are becoming increasingly aware of what they eat and how they want to treat their body. A result of this is the growing popularity of the veganism in this country which doesn’t show any signs of slowing down, so why not create a parcel for them too? This parcel contains great alternatives to meat products as well as a dairy!
Be wary though, one of the drawbacks to this lifestyle is that vegan products are rather expensive when compared to the typical meat/dairy product, so this box tries to cover most needs of the average vegan!

What’s better than a flatmate that shares their food with you? How about a flatmate that loves to cook!

There’s even a variety of spices and seasonings you can use to explore different flavours!
