Morrisons has launched a family food box for under £30 - this is what you get

Morrisons has launched a family food box which it says will feed a family of four for five evening meals.

The box comes filled with a range of fresh and dry ingredients, and even simple recipe cards with suggestions for how to use the contents of the box.

“Unlike other recipe boxes, the Morrisons family box contains full retail-sized packs of ingredients. This means customers will also have ingredients left over at the end of the week - which they can use to cook more meals,” the supermarket said.

Tessa Callaghan, Head of Food Boxes at Morrisons, said: “Many of our customers enjoy eating meals as a family and we have seen customers do this more during the pandemic.

“It can be difficult to constantly cook up new dishes that please everyone.

“So, we wanted to create a great value box that contained high quality produce and recipe cards - to make it easier to try new things.”
