Tesco Discussion Chats & Grabbits 11+

French_Knickers

Well I popped to T's today but reductions weren't brilliant. There was a prepacked rump steak I fancied but it vanished and there was a lovely fillet steak off the fresh deli rduced from 13 quid to 8 quid....but no way in the world does a tight !!!! like me pay 8 quid for a bit of steak, no matter how good it is! Ended up returning my cheap bacon and sausages to the shelf as I don't need them (training myself here lol) and came away with just a pair of salmon fillets in lemon and cracked pepper for 1.25 so that's tea sorted. Wil have those with some creamed spuds (made with copious quantities of home made butter of course) and a salad just so it at least looks healthy on the plate!

Went for a walk after that around my local lake. Was very crisp but with cold temperatures and clear skies, the sunset was nice. On the way back to the car park I tried to get some nice shots of the robin thats ofter there and will come and take food from your hand. Trouble was there was 3 of them and they did more squabbling than feeding so didn't get a nice shot of them today. Have had some corkers in the past though....will pop one up if anyone wants to see. I did however hear a little something scurrying about in the undergrowth and in the end managed to con the little blighter (a wood mouse I believe) into posing for a snap.........

Hi all

Haven't been around much today as i have only just found the coupon thread. How on earth have i not found this before?!?!?

Haven't been out today, just been having a lazy day due to the fact i didn't get to sleep until 5:30am!!

Now all i need to do is find a cheap printer to buy so i can print all my new found coupons...............

I think JJ and I may have seen the same website, which says:
"This information is gleaned from the excellent book "Portmeirion Pottery" by Steven Jenkins and Stephen P McKay, published in 2000, and from information obtained directly from Portmeirion Potteries."

Is that the book you are using? Interestingly,it also shows a a backstamp for pottery produced in the Welsh factory? near Portmeirion which shows a dragon, porthmeirion and cynnyrch cymru:) (I must learn how to post links:o)

If you can copy and paste, it's easy. Just get to the page you want, highlight the address in the bar on top left of screen. Copy then paste in the reply box on this thread.

I only figured it out recently too

JJ, regarding potatoes, my exMIL used to use mashed potato to make scones.

Glad you do a spreadsheet too Fudge_cake, it's the only way to keep track! For the first year ever, I managed to do one through the whole of the year, and came out under budget, but it takes some doing, and stamina at times!



I have a very flexible meal plan. Usually try to plan it for a week, using up whoopsies from the freezer, or if there's too much say of one meat type, will buy others, or look for others. It's changeable, depending on what whoopsies I find, and if there's room in the freezer to store things, or if they need eating straight away.

I always bulk buy any of the food glitches/good value.

Still have some food from DTD, concentrate on non perishables, rather than Olay etc etc that lots were going for.

Tonight's dinner is lasagne, lasagne sheets from when they were 17p a packet. Home made sauces. Cheese from BOGTF and coupons. Salad from whoopsies. There will be a portion frozen for youngest to have Tuesday. He doesn't like fish, that night, the other 2 will have whoospied sallmon fillets with salad and potato salad. (still have 3 bags of 5p whoopsied pots in the cellar).

I stocked up with various jams/marmalades/syrups from the 342 offers. Bread and rolls are always whoopsies (T's or M's) get a good selection then

I get 12 very large eggs from a friend for 70p. Make my own cakes/buns/flapjacks/scones/tray bakes.

We all have packed lunches, often sandwich fillings are whoopsies..

It does mean going most evenings to shop, but my DS's are used to it.

Still have 2 large honeydew melons at 20p, from last week. Cherries and grapes in the fridge.

Also use my local market for fresh produce. Sometimes they're cheaper than the supermarkets, sometimes not.

Firmly believe in spavving, as well as whoopsieing and wombling!

hth! x

Thanks midwinter, I'm full of admiration for you. Just wish mine would eat lasagne etc. I know it's me being 'soft' but sometimes have to do different stuff for different people! I do batch cook etc but whereas I love casseroles, lasagne etc, they won't eat them. When I used the slow cooker OH didn't like having the 'smell' of cooking in the house!

Sorry but what is spavving? On the bright side, you can add language teacher to your accomplishments.:T
