I rarely shop at Co-op, but there's one item that keeps me coming back: their Irresistible Vintage Cheddar Macaroni Cheese. As someone who usually cooks from scratch, ready meals are a last resort, but this one has won me over completely.
I first tried it while testing Valentine's Day dine-in deals across supermarkets, and it was the surprising highlight. Since then, I've bought it many times. The dish serves two and takes just 30 minutes in the oven. The ciabatta and mozzarella crumb turns golden and adds a satisfying crunch, while the sauce is thick, creamy, and flavourful—no extra seasoning needed.
Compared to other supermarkets, including M&S, Co-op's mac and cheese stands out for its restaurant-quality taste. It's priced at around £7.65 in my local store, or £8 for two portions online. It's not the cheapest, but it's worth every penny. On my last visit, only one was left on the shelf, so grab it when you see it.
