I'm married to an American so I don't often shop locally. Well, I do, but I have never been much of a one for convenience foods of any kind. Aldi and Lidl both have lots of own brand stuff that may be similar - thing to do is to look up your favourite British products on line, check the nutritional values and do a compare and contrast with the locally-available stuff. You can get Muller products here, though I don't often see Muller Light rice or yoghurts. Edeka and Real tend to have more of the branded foods and Real has an international foods section that is useful to a small extent.

Check the dairy aisle for low and reduced fat products: 0% fat Speisequark is brilliant, plain or with herbs. Use it with fruit, mixed with your favourite herbs and poured over cooked potatoes, use it in Syn-free quiche instead of cottage cheese for a different texture and flavour. There's loads of fresh produce available, so I like to fill up on whatever veg is in season (it's still Spargel time here!) as well as local strawberries.

Plain rice and pasta are the same the world over, so no worries on that score. Same goes for meat. If it's fresh, unprocessed fruit, meat, vegetables, pasta, rice, quinoa, couscous etc, it won't be any different values-wise to what you're used to.

I may have a mooch tomorrow and see what there is in the local supermarkets that is similar to Super Noodles and Pasta n Sauce. I'll let you know!

Okay, I didn't immediately find anything similar to SuperNoodles, but I forgot to have a really good look!

Real has a huge range of dried pasta and sauce products. There's a Knorr range that is meant to be healthier (I have forgotten the name of it now) and Maggi also make one. I found them near the packet soups and the sauces, so do have a look in your local supermarket for them.

Each packet makes two portions, and the Emmenthaler Macaroni that I had was a hefty 300 calories per portion so half the pack is made up and in the fridge for tomorrow or a snack later on. It was okay, as these things go, but to be honest I'd rather make my own from scratch!
