A BARGAIN Christmas dinner for six people by Iceland has been hailed as a godsend for some families - but some have blasted it as a meal for 'lazy' people. The meal deal costs just £22 and includes a turkey breast joint, parsnips, sprouts, pork, sage and onion stuffing balls and an Irish Cream gateaux. According to the Mail Online, the post was originally shared on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook by Robyn Greenfield who shared a snap of the "fab deal". But she was forced to edit the post after some reportedly blasted that eating the frozen meal deal was for "lazy people". She said: "For all those being judgemental about frozen food, scroll past then. Why people got to be so rude? It's Christmas and some families can't afford a lot. I personally cook all fresh food on Christmas. "But for some family's this may be a bargain to feed 6 people. Did no one ever teach some of you if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all, simple?"

New levy, food truck regulations on Sycamore City Council agenda
SYCAMORE – Sycamore City Council members will go over a second reading for their property tax levy option that would maintain the levy for the city’s general operations and help meet the city’s fire and pension obligations during their meeting next week. The council had previously elected to move in the direction of a levy option that would maintain the levy for the general operations, which would result in a $6.46 increase on the tax bill for someone who owns a house valued at $200,000. “The property tax levy is being presented as a second reading for action,” City Manager Brian Gregory said. Gregory had said the city is estimating the consumer price index will be 2.1 percent with an increase in the equalized assessed valuation of 6.25 percent from last year’s EAV, which includes about $6.8 million in new construction.

Iceland’s frozen £22 Christmas Day meal deal branded ‘food for lazy people’
A Christmas Day frozen meal deal being sold by Iceland for £22 has left shoppers divided. The festive two-course feast can feed around six and includes a £10 boneless turkey breast joint, pigs in blankets, parsnips, roast potatoes, stuffing balls, sprouts, as well as an Irish cream gateau. However, while some say it is perfect for struggling families - or those on a tight budget - a number of social media 'snobs' have branded it 'lazy'. One mum said she was repulsed at the thought of serving her family food from frozen on Christmas Day rather than using fresh ingredients. The debate was sparked by savvy shopper Robyn Greenfield who took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Group to share the "fab deal" with others. However she was forced to edit her post when people began leaving negative comments. One wrote: "Yuk it's all frozen." Robyn replied: "For all those being judgemental about frozen food scroll past...why people got to be so rude!! "It's Christmas … [Read more...] about Iceland’s frozen £22 Christmas Day meal deal branded ‘food for lazy people’
