Where to buy cheaper cuts - mutton, rib, goat
Well some of these are trendy but I just tasted mutton for the first time and wow - if I could I would not go back to lamb. So (apart from M5 Gloucester Service Station which sells mutton shoulder for 8.50 per kg) where else can I buy it? And not interested in fancy prices. GSS is reasonable and butchered and hung…

As I often do, I check the Waitrose website for their offers before going to the store. Well online they show buy 2 packs of £5 tinned tuna with £6 off therefore bringing price down to £4 for 8 tins.

going to waitrose
There isn't a waitrose near me (the town I live in isn't' posh enough :rotfl:). Nearest one is 20 miles away. That says a lot about where I live :o We are going to a town that has one to visit an attraction and whilst I am there thought I would treat myself and pop in. Can anyone recommend the best value/nicest things to…
Flavoured coffee granules
I saw these whilst looking along the instant coffee aisle earlier this evening. They come in a variety of flavours, eg hazelnut, vanilla, chocolate orange, cinder toffee etc. As far as I can see are flavouring only added to the coffee, no sugar.
