I absolutely agree with your general point, and I know this is incidental.... but given how easy it is to make decent pasta and how much better it is than M&S microwave stuff, I think that's one area it's worth economising in!

I have a JISA for my 6 year old. I do not believe that's a 60 year investment horizon. A bit of cash would have helped me a *lot* in my 20s when I was really scraping by and spending vast amounts on rent in crappy houseshares.
