Money Saving In The Extreme

This should make people chuckle.

I live in a rural area and therefore there is a lot of country roads so you can imagine what you see lying dead in the middle of the road. Well if you can't theres rabbits, pheasents, foxes and the odd badger every now and again.

Now I heard about this man who, if the corpse is not "too mangled" as my friend put it, will pull his car over and take the road kill home with him to have for his dinner.

Now this is money saving to the extreme!! :rotfl:

    Debt-free and Proud!
    This man was on 'This morning' last week,he cooks all sorts of roadkill :eek:
    He made squirrel dumplings on TV,Phil Schofield lapped it up,while Fern looked a bit queesy ;)
    He said that you cannot use a badly 'squashed' animal as the guts will have spilled into the meat,therefore you must choose carefully :rolleyes:
    I have to say all food cravings I had went away within 2 secs of watching this,YEEEUUUCCCKKK :eek:
    I agree with moneysaving,but surely easier would be to become a veggie ;)
    Debt at highest £102k :eek:

    I remember as a child, the gamekeeper dropping off rabbits (wild that had been shot) for my parents. My Mum still teases me about the look on my face the day she told me it was rabbit stew I was eating!
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    I know someone who used to do this with roadkill. Not sure if I would, but I remember my dad bringing a rabbit home once that he'd knocked over in his car.

    It is a bit extreme, but then this guy is getting good meat for free....
