M&S Risotto & Porchini Mushrooms or Garden Veg - 20p!

Hi all

Popped into M&S yesterday and spotted some dried Risotto with Porchini Mushrooms or Garden Veg reduced to 20p from £2.99!

It's in a clear packet with a cardboard tab at the top. It was with all the other Italian products. I'm looking forward to trying it. It says to use 2 pouches of 500ml M&S vegetable stock with it but I'm going to try it with some cheap stock. HTH someone.

Be warned though, do not venture into M&S hungry, you will probably come out with more than you bargained for! :rotfl:
There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

    I hope nobody bought any of these. They've got live beetles in them! :eek: So much for the food being vegetarian.

    I know! I was planning on having some for my tea tonight too. I only happened by chance to see my dad today. Thank God I did! Why on earth he didn't ring me as soon as he spotted them, I've no idea.

    Well, you would have if you'd looked for grocery deals in the correct section, wouldn't you?

    As has been said recently, this Grabbit board is being clogged up with grocery posts, when there is a proper section for them. Imagine if people were posting fantastic offers for credit cards (for example) in the Grabbit section, I imagine everyone would be up in arms, and rightly so.

    If people post in the right part of the forum, everyone knows exactly where to go for deals. ;)
