i'm absolutly freezing! not putting the heating on though cause i'm going out in a bit

Afternoon all.

Sorry to gatecrash the chat, but I was wondering if anyone minded if I used one of their Graze codes to give it a try? It's definitely appealing... particularly after hearing all the talk of rice crackers and the like.

And those of you who use it; is it good value for money?

Thank you!

Yeah I agree Claire, I need to prioritise.

Linda, I'll check out the M&S ones.

If you use someone's graze code they get £1 off their next box, so feel free to use them, I can't see anyone complaining! It depends what you call value for money. I can't control myself around food, so having portions really helps me to diet and eat healthily, and it's a lot less than I was spending on chocolate, cakes etc. But you could probably get similar things in big packs for a lot less (although probably not as nice!). You can always try the free box and then make your mind up.

Afternoon all!

Ames- I had a glut of sausages recently and made up a casserole using what was left in the cupboard- it's now a firm favourite at home!

Fry off onions until soft, chuck in SC. Brown sausages and bacon offcuts, throw in SC. Add can or two of chopped toms depending on how many you're feeding, put hot water into one empty tin and and throw that in too. Stock cube, big handful of red lentils and bit of black pepper. A pinch of paprika goes nice too- leave in SC for a few hours, no need to pre soak lentils.
When I make it now I just add whatever veg I have in- mushrooms go really well, but so do those soup packs of veg which are always reduced in my local supermarket.

Made myself hungry now!

I'm very tempted by these graze boxes you all speak of, problem is now I'm back at job number 2, being home when they are delivered is highly unlikely and I can't be bothered to deal with my parents lectures on a waste of money!!

Maybe once I've moved out (which will hopefully be sooner rather than later) I'll give them a whirl.

Need to get my filing sorted out now, off to fetch it into the living room and make another huge mess

They fit straight through the letter box anyway lizzie! :T
