It starts: "Anyone who claims that healthy food is a cheaper option has clearly never enjoyed the dubious nutitional delights of a pack of Everyday Value Custard Creams (35p, 1,972 calories).
They’ve also probably never been to a supermarket. Or at least never been to a supermarket with less than a tenner to last until the end of the week and two kids to feed. This hasn’t stopped a string of pompous twats from appearing in the media this week and telling us how much better they would be at being poor than the plebs using foodbanks."
And then gets into details.

Although I avoid sugar, I am well aware how cheap custard creams are, and cheap, mass-produced food is usually loaded with sugar.
I don't know who wrote that blog, but some extremely carefully cherry-picked examples there. The paragraph about meatfree being no cheaper is based on some well-dodgy assumptions too.
He's right about well-off columnists patronising plebs with their poverty-toursim, though.
