Thanks, i know 9 bags! but it was reduced from £4 to 80p and we did have room in the freezer. That to go with the sausage, chicken, burger and cooked ham/chicken mountain we need to get through He is very good at finding reductions but has now started to haggle at the deli-counter when he sees reductions to the point the staff now tell him/ask him what he can take!!!! But we eat very well for pennies! The only problem is being a man he thinks I never need to go shopping as the freezer is full, he forgets it takes more than meat to make a meal!!

at 80p a chuck I too would have got a lot as wellbut would have shared them around between my two Dds and myself .Mince is just so versatile , in my younger days when cash was very tight my Dd used to say 'my mum knows a 1001 winning ways with mince You name it it usually contained it in some form:):)

:rotfl::rotfl:Well it is the one thing he is good at! Although I like a bargain and it was me who used to fetch them he has got the bug. I would never haggle to have it reduced further! He can sniff a bargain anywhere, so I have trained him well!! althought every sunday we have him saying he is not buying anthing else until the freezer is half empty..and Monday he is off again. But we have saved loads of money whic has ment we have overpaid our mortgaged!!!

£4 to 80p for 400g. I don't think the tartan bits of my DNA would've let me walk away from a bargain like that.

You should hire him out as a bargain hunting snuffle pig type person.
That was a huge bargain & mince is so versatile.
I like minced beef roly poly, suet pastry rolled out & cooked mince spread over it rolled up & baked.
