I seem to recall plenty of criticism on this site concerning foreign nationals purchasing everything that was reduced in Tesco, Asda et al. Perhaps some of that criticism should be directed in this direction, too.From Poland...with love.

Their books are lying on the floor.

Very well done. Oftentimes people tell me of their treasures at Co-op but I've never been lucky there. Mind you, I only ever pop in for something I've forgotten, I don't actually "shop" there.
My Goodness, imagine all that chicken!! It'll keep you going for half the year. Fantastic.Grocery Challenge M: £450/£425.08 A: £400/£:eek:.May -£400/£361 June £380/£230 (pages 18 & 27 explain)0 -

our co-op is pretty good for reduced stuff, its the only big shop close to our village otherwise its a 25 mile round trip to town, so i call in everyday to get milk and to see whats reduced, usually veg, which lasts a good week extra in the fridge and bread at 10p a loaf, that goes in the freezer0

I thought I got a real bargain from the Coop the other day - 2 of their tuna steaks for 50p down from £4.50. Congratulated myself right up to the point when I realised they had given me food poisoning!
Might have been my cooking though...0 -

You can just freeze them raw, but they'll probably taste a bit better if you blanch them first. IMO.0
