This pack

Two 400g ready meals from the same shelf: the standard tier at £3.75 and the Taste the Difference premium at £4.85. The premium pack does carry slightly more chicken — 20% versus 18% — but the price jump is disproportionate. Work out the cost per 100g of actual chicken and the standard tier wins at £5.21 against £6.06 for the premium. More money, but not more chicken for your money.

Ranked by cost per 100g of actual chicken — shelf price with filler stripped. Sources on each pack's own page.
