This is a campaign aims to help and inspire students who might be less familiar with cooking to make simple but delicious meals, to improve their physical health and mental wellbeing.
Supermarkets to know
Aldi and Lidl offer better value for money with cheaper products however have a lower quality of own brand and frozen produce. Keele's Campus Co-op offers a good quality of fresh produce for a good value for money (especially if you use your Totum Card!). Located right next to the Students' Union Building, it's really convenient for on-campus Keele students. Morrison's, Sainsury's, Tesco and Asda have better quality food produce than Aldi or Lidl, being a little pricier but has a decent value for money. Waitrose and Marks and Spencer have the best quality produce, but significantly more expensive and so are seen as less value for money.
