    Anymore and they will move this thread into a cooking section... :rotfl:
    No I think this is exactly the right level. There's a potential to link into Asda cut price offers, and of course that all important Domino's advert. We must remember our sponsors, without whom this challenging talk would not be possible.

    Oh I can't wait to start wandering the forums when this board gets shunted. I've plenty more where this comes from.

    We've been busy preparing for Squatnows work camps that will offer involuntary euthanasia. Therefore everything we've been stockpiling is suitable to be concealed in our bodily cavities.;-)

    Trust me when I say that tins of beans are completely out of the question. (Brings tears to my eyes just contemplating it!)

    Just wondering as now there will be no armageddon and we are out of recession and house prices are rising again, I thought I would get tucking into these 80 tins of Asda beans. What you think?

    Don't mention tuna, spaghetti rings/bolognese and ravioli please, I feel sick thinking about it all.
    Best thing to do is remove all the labels and then until you open the tins you haven't a clue what's for tea, jobs a good un :confused:
    I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:

    I hear you Mewbie.

    Wrong thread to go into an anti Tescopoly rant but 241 Chain restaurant offers are probably doing more long term damage to the economy (in terms of busting their indie competitors nearby) than the actual drop in spend in restaurants as a whole. Many of the suppliers are (alledgedly) being screwed down too to enable the offers.....so causing more job losses.

    Corp business style is 'Give with one hand and take more with other and F*** everyone else.


    As for Wal mart Asda...well, I haven't got the typing skills for Bubblesmoney post but......YKWIM?

    I'm still living in a flood risk area, so if you don't mind, I'll keep my little stock of food and essentials.

    And we had a short power cut the other day - terribly glad I had candles.

    Regards.

    .

    beans, beans make you fart
    the more you eat
    the more you fart.


    Seriously, it's important that in your armageddonoutofhere stockpile, you have food that you actually like to eat. And who likes to eat beans? If I were you, it would be salmon and champagne all the way.

    I quite like baked beans, and I have to admit, if I want them I open a tin not make them. I have made them and ..this is very rare...I prefered the tinned ones.
