    I don't often wander down the fresh meat aisle since the demise of R&R, but last night, out of curiosity, I took a stroll and found Fresh Beef Joints, supposedly on offer until 10 August (reduced from £6.99 per kg to £4.66 per kg), but none of the packs on display showed the reduced price.
    I bagged two, one British and one Irish, and claimed the DTD.
    The CS girl, bless her, didn't know where to start in calculating my refund, so I told her that, as the offer was one-third off, she could refund two-thirds of the pack price. Simple.
    Refund of £8.38 on £12.57 spent.

    they are breaking the law by selling you a product at a higher price than they advertise. If you picked up a pack priced at £7.99/k and the discount is not taken off at the till (it won't, the price is seen within the barcode and on the pack), then you have been overcharged, as they are advertising it at the lower price. You should get DtD per kilo back. CSA's really like working that one out.

    I have a great recipe for lemon curd icecream, but let me post this one first!

    Lemon Drizzle cake
    grated zest 1 lemon
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    6 oz (175 g) self-raising flour, sifted
    1 level teaspoon baking powder
    6oz (175 g) butter at room temperature
    6 oz (175 g) caster sugar
    3 large eggs

    Filling
    lemon curd

    For the icing:
    zest 1 large lemon
    2 oz (50 g) sifted icing sugar
    2-3 teaspoons lemon juice

    Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 3, 325°F (170°C).
    Prepare two 7 inch (18 cm) sandwich tins, 1½ inches (4 cm) deep, by greasing them, lining the bases with baking paper and greasing the paper too.

    Just measure all the cake ingredients into a mixing bowl and beat – ideally with an electric hand whisk – till you have a smooth, creamy consistency. Then divide the mixture evenly between the two tins and bake them on the centre shelf of the oven for about 35 minutes or until the centres feel springy when lightly touched with a little finger.

    When the cakes are cooked, remove them from the oven and after about 30 seconds turn them out on to a wire rack. When they are absolutely cold – and not before – carefully cut each one horizontally into two using a sharp serrated knife. Now spread the curd thickly to sandwich the sponges together.

    Then to make the icing, begin by removing the zest from the lemon – it's best to use a zester to get long, curly strips. Then sift the icing sugar into a bowl and gradually stir in the lemon juice until you have a soft, runny consistency. Allow the icing to stand for 5 minutes before spreading it on top of the cake with a knife, almost to the edges, and don't worry if it runs a little down the sides of the cake. Then scatter the lemon zest over the top and leave it for half an hour for the icing to firm up before serving.

    Hope you enjoy honey!

    I just realised I should have pmed this, so apologies for going off topic and I will pm the next recipe I have!

    I will be looking out for this today, :beer: Sunday/Xmas lunches so expensive since R&R stopped.

    Thank you all :)

    P.M sent honey! I have to confess, back in my 20's at Uni, I used to make a batch of lemon curd and sell it to my fellow students for extra 'pennies', so I have a few lemon curd recipes collected over the years! Enjoy the ice cream, its a recent recipe I discovered but it's definately one of my faves!

    Oh yes, the stuff of legends. The discussion thread used to get quite heated during that particular hayday and probably the main reason it got shut down. Don't believe for a minute that tesco PI has got any better since R&R went, people.

    We bought 2 bags of Riceworks Gourmet Chips (Crisps to you and me) don't know the actual price but my receipt says 0.01p. I call that a bargain.
