    Ive recently become a big fan of Rosspa.co.uk

    I spend about £35 a week (inc delivery) which is all the fruit, veg and storecupboard and cleaning stuff, then about a further £15 on meat from whatever supermarket has the offers on

    We are a family of 4 too xx

    Hiya i've just been on this site to have a nosey and they have quite good choice and prices on fruit and veg are excellent, can i ask is it good stuff the fruit and veg, does it last? Many thanks.
  • if you ever see potatoes in the bargain sections, you could cut them into wedges, slightly cook them in boiling water for about 5 mins, then cool, season and freeze for some brilliant potato wedges :)
    we do this, and they are brilliant every time! and also cutting carrots up ready, and freezing them.

    I have a load of spuds to use up (getting to the bottom of the sack, few mouldy ones) and I'd like to freeze some potato wedges.

    Can you cook them from frozen and if so, at what temp and for how long?

    Anyone know?
    Thanks to everyone who posts comps, I love winning prizes big and small

  • you'd have to par boil them before freezing. Personally I like mine crunchy and do about Gas 6 for 35-40 mins.

  • I agree with timeou about Rosspa,I've saved loads by using them and the quality is great!!
  • You could always try going to your local greengrocers on a Saturday afternoon about 4.30pm ish, they are always willing to do you a basket of ripe fruit and veg that they they need to get rid of for a knock down price.

    Then use it to do some cooking on a sunday and freeze it all.
    A small Thank You can make a BIG difference ;)
