I'm afriad i am also a sucker for the bog rolls. OH has banned me from buying anymore at the moment, as the loft is full of packs of them. Great until you have to open the hatch and get bombarded by them!!!!!! :rotfl:

10lbs of reduced price turkey mince & 10 reduced price turkey legs. Cost £4 in total, we haven't eaten either since we finally finsihed the lot several years ago:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

When I was a student, 200 fishfingers. Well, they were reduced to 10p for a box of 10. Don't really like fishfingers anymore.

I don't usually go that mad but a couple of months ago or local Somerfield were doing whole frozen ducklings cheap and I bought 6.

When the checkout girl asked me what I was going to do with all those ducks I told her I was going to take them to the park and teach them how to fly :rotfl:

Just had to say thank you so much for making my morning :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:


I have worked out the day My local Waitrose reduces its meat and i am having to be careful i don't get a reputation for buying up all their reduced items lasdt week for £15 I got...

huge shoulder of lamb
2 neck fillerts
4 portions of braising steak
6 pieces beef (for pot roasting each will serve 2)
12 sausages
2 pieces of salmon
2 x 500g of minced beef
2 sirloin steaks
6 spare ribs
2 sardines

I am a manic bulk buyer of meat so much so that i now no longer have room for my frozen veggies and have to admit i really don't need to buy any for a long while but its so cheappppppppppppppppp

I have 12kg of pasta shells in the garage - Asda for some reason were selling the 3kg bags of pasta shells for 50p although all the other shapes were much more expensive!!

My best bargain was a whole salmon for 10p. They were reduced to £10.00 so I decided to get one. It was put into a white plastic body bag and off we went to the checkout. The 16yo there was so amazed by the concept of a "whole " fish and was so busy showing to her mate on the next till that she entered 10 instead of 10.00. In my defense I bought a load of other stuff so I didn't notice in the final total, until I got home and looked at the receipt.

What an excellant post -really made me laugh.
Personally I cant resist a meat reduction ,after filling my own chest freezer Im now filling friends and families too (They dont complain because I always forget what Ive stored so they get to keep it !!). :rolleyes:
Last week stocked up on 5 West country corn fed chickens for 20p each needless to say they ended up in my mums !!

How did you manage that????

I never seem to be in Tesco or Sainsbury's at the right time. They is quite often a good lot of stuff in the reduced fridge in my local Sainsbury's but it's never really an absolute bargain like that!!

What am I doing wrong??

Penny-Pincher!!

Julybride-May I ask when you find Waitrose reduces its meat? Id be very interested in this.
