    Sainsburys basic range do "ends" of smoked salmon, all trimmed up for £1, I'm sure its like 100g - definitely way cheaper than any of the sliced stuff and just as lovely
  • I've recently discovered Scan (or maybe skan) swedish meatballs at Sainsbury's, they taste identical to the ones you get at Ikea, for a snip of the price! I picked up a pack for £1.50 last week and managed to get 4 meals out of it, hurrah!
  • I got a 2.7kg joint of beef topside from tesco for under £5 a kilo, minimal fat to trim off and obviously no bone.

    They have something different half price every week now, definitely worth keeping an eye on!
  • You get a lot of gammon for your money but I can't stand it.
