Evening

Went to Mr w got 2 packs of 400g mince beef lean, I'm wondering what is so special that it costs 3.99 a pack, I got it for 1.50 a pack, reduced and multi buy, I'm expecting it to be great? Also got brocolli tender stems and baby carrots 89p, a red cabbage 31p, Thai fragrant rice 75p and a tin of 5 beans 4.99 to pay, got 2 tins of 5 beans from Mr s across the road free using coupons, found a boots that stock the biscuits, but they didn't scan at ss, so tgey put it through with difficulty at the till, got 2 wont be getting more, my local doesn't stock them and i can't be doing with the faffing.

Had the smoothie and had a cheese burger and wedges while i was out, the chilli is ready, going Zumba, so when I get back.will steam some rice and some of the carrots and tender stems, that's my 5 a day complete, there's even 5 beans in the chilli lol.

Lynsey thanks for that will send DH to ASDA tomorrow am to have a look for the coffee. xx

Green & Black's organic chocolate ice cream 500ml normally 4.19 on offer 2 for £5 Tesco to 15/10. On offer 2.79 each to 06/11 at Waitrose and £3 each to 06/11 Sainsbury's. Husband lurves this, total addict. I bought it for Christmas on offer at Waitrose he ate it, at Budgens, he ate it, at Ocado he ate it. Do I dare send him to Sainsbury's ??

Edwardi - the one to look for is this one:



ASDA Extra Special Fairtrade Organic Latin American Coffee (227g)

No shopping so far, but will try Sainsbury's tonight about 8pm.

Made a pear crumble with the 15p tinned pear quarters, but forgot I still have 2 bags of "whoopsy" apples to use up!!!
Good job the Sainsbury's fruit lasts well.

OH made sheperds pie today with mince out of the freezer and fresh veg with sliced onion, carrot and celery. Have only spent £35 on shopping this week :j and that was mainly on f&v and bread and milk. Was naughty and got some stollen and mince pies from aldi though :eek:

I got some really good bargains on ys today, and wondered if anyone could help with a question I have?

I got 2 cauliflowers for 10p each, 2 bags of carrots, cauliflower and broccoli for 10p each and some other veg. They say not suitable for freezing, but do you think these would be ok if I out them in the freezer? I just want them to last a little longer if possible, rather than eating them all up quickly for the sake of it.

The cream I got, wrapped chicken breasts, lasagne and other bi to are already in the freezer, and the box of four cream cakes I got for 11p definitely won't be hanging around! I got over £20 of food for £1.93!

You could blanche them prior to freezing.

I shouldn't have gone out ..................... but great meat bargains tonight in Sainsbury's all at 75%+ off.
I bought pork joints, packs of TTD diced beef, packs of pork chops and sausages.
Spent £9.02, but got loads and loads. Must have got approx £40 worth of stuff, easily.
I've never seen as much reduced meat in one go in ages, if at all.
Sadly I haven't got the space, but there were loads of large chickens and even more Guinea fowl all at around £1.49. Basics lamb cutlets etc, etc, etc., I could easily have filled a freezer tonight ................. but mine are full!!!
After all the excitement, I forgot the milk. lol
Need to get milk tomorrow and some veg and that's it.
The other thing they had loads of was single cream for 10p, I wouldn't be able to use it, so left it.
No Spam Fritters either, but hopefully another day.

I must get that spare freezer up and running and stocked up, especially if prices are going to rise. I can then start to eat out of the cupboards and freezers then.

Got no ice-cream now, we had to eat it to create some space!!!

Wow, go Lynsey! I must try a late night shop at Mr T's and see what the grocery and freezer aisles are like. Maybe at the end of the month - we have plenty in to last us.

Had the hotpot tonight - was lovely as usual and we have some over for dinner tomorrow night. Will be having it with the remaining 2 Aunt Bessie's yorkshire puds that I rescued from the depths of our garage freezer this afternoon.

Will be having crackerbread and cheese for lunch tomorrow afternoon to use up the opened packet in the cupboard.

sunday probably wont be using much - we are out to lunch with my cousin and his wife. might get one of my frozen pasta bake portions out and have that for dinner, will have to see we still have my rescued packet of bacon which will need to be eaten at some point lol.

Lynsey is the spam free? I can only see the bogof voucher am I missing something or is that it?

Lynsey

Sainsbury's have the Spam Fritters on at BOGOF (£2), so one coupon gets 2 free packs of Spam Fritters. The coupon has to be manually put through at £2 as it has no value to scan.
I think they're tasteless, but some like them and they're free.
Not all Sainsbury's stock them, sadly.
