Steph went on to name $4.99 Ocean Rise long fin tuna as another fave, saying the fish fillets are "so good" she likes to eat them straight out of the jar.

She continued to the freezer aisle, highlighting Urban Eats onion bhajis and spinach pakoras, which she and her family enjoyed for a "lazy dinner", finding the flavour of the fuss-free meal option surprisingly "authentic".
