    Have i missed the plot? I don't understand what we are meant to conclude unless we know the cut of beef and weight?
    It could be brisket, it could be sirlion. The 7 joints could be 100g each, they could be 2kg each. :confused:
    You haven't missed the plot. I was thinking the same thing!:confused:
    Cash ISA rate 6.5% fixed for 2 years. Mortgage rate 0.75% = 5.75% profit on £75K = £4500 per year:j
    Mortgages make money. Definitely don't wanabee mortgage free!

    The original post said two very long joints of beef.

    Why not on a Monday? Or do you have a different thing to eat on a Monday because you don't fancy the same things two days in a row?
    Just curious hehe.

    Precisely that - I get complaints from the family if I do it on a Monday!

    Am I being a bit dim but does this actually save money?
    I thought joints were priced per kilo regardless of how big they are?

    The meat was on special, otherwise we would`nt have bought it.The fact is for what we paid for it and the amount of joints we got out of it, it has savd us money because i know if i went to the butchers to buy one of the 7 joints it would cost me a damn site more so i have saved money by doing it this way.
    Might not work for you but it does for me.:T

    I wasn't being sarky, just genuinely interested if this would save money, wasn't sure if supermarkets sell larger joints for less per kilo or something.
    If it was a special offer then worth stocking up on, well done.

    Bought one of these rascals at the weekend. Had a nice bit of rump on Sunday, only problem is the kids are finding it distressing when she drags herself through the front room.
