lol

actually just thought of my other q i know on the second post it says for R&R's to have a few bits of shopping you do need, how many R&R's do you tend to push your luck for whilst shopping? just want to get the jist of it a bit before i give it a try

Do you think the PID take requests, I'd rather some legs of lamb this week instead of anymore beef or chicken. Also a price change on Raving Rabbids for the Wii would be good other wise I've got to buy it. Packs of nice writing pens too and party gifts for party bags. Oh and a hoover for mum. So if you're reading PID people that would be great for this week and next.

Slightly off topic, but I suspect most of us have had plenty of beef joints. My mum noticed on a joint I gave to her that it says it can only be frozen for 1 month. I've got a few in my freezer that have been there longer than that, topside in the square plastic. Are they okay to keep longer or is Mr.T going to have his revenge by poisoning me?

Never read that before, I always remove everything to be frozen from their original packaging(had to buy an extra freezer as it was).

I then wrap them tight......getting all of the air out.

Ive kept meat for many months and fresh-caught fish for years.

I know long freezing takes a lot of the goodness(emzymes is it??) out of it, but I have suffered no ill effects of long term freezing.(that I am aware of)

Make sure they dont get freezer burnt.

Ive enough meat in my 2 freezers and over half my brothers freezer to last a year....so i'm hoping Tescos aren't selling inferior quality produce that only lasts a month

But we wouldnt be surprised Flo....would we.

If its my local store I tread carefully, I will now only r&r just under £20 a go with a shop of about £40. If its not my local store then anything goes. If its meat I'll usually buy a bag of spuds and a tin of peas and r&r a couple of joints. If its electrical stuff then just bread and milk or even on their own. I'd try a couple of smaller r&rs to start off, you can then test how customer services respond.

The best advice is don't bother for pence because there will be one for pounds will come along. You don't have to buy a load of shopping, if it's wrongly priced and they still have the sign up then the item is yours.

I've only had about 6 in total but the last one was for over a 100 pound so be patient.

Just treat this meat as any other, I think stores do these things to make you buy and eat quicker, bigger turnover for them makes sense:cool:

not a very confrontational person, but am very relaxed and laid back so i think that will help at least

Will more than likely keep an eye out for a couple of small R&R's just to see how it all works, unless there is something i really want to try and grab (like the futurama boxsets i seem to have missed out on... why didnt i find you guys sooner!) but i think the main thing is to get to know how it works before trying to exploit the system

Unfortunately,it isnt always as easy or straightforward as that...

I think this is bad information to give a newbie.''''the bit in red

Its not always easy, Ive seen them fight over 60pence.

It depends on lots of circumstances.

Thats exactly how I'd play it, try a couple of things and then wait for things you want or need to come along.
