I also agree with the poster who said "when the whoopsies are still too expensive!"

When you plan an evening meal revolving around not wasting the last stick of limp pre-Christmas celery .

Tonight we are having veggie shepherds pie made with Asda brand "beanfeast" type soya (cheaper than Beanfeast and just as tasty), topped with free sweet potatoes that sister-in-law overbought.

when your dinner tonight is the last of the xmas celery in a very similar veggie stew, but your 'beanfeast' ins't real 'beanfeast' or even Asda's version, but is actually some soaked dried beans and some veggie TVP mince from the healthfood shop/or wholefood ilse - bought in bulk for pennies per serving... and you don't think that Bogof_Babe will mind you saying as the TVP tip might save her a few pence in the future!
