Christmas dinner. How did I do?

I went into Morrison's at 1.30pm today and purchased the following

2 large fresh gammon steaks £1.45
1 large summer berry trifle £0.99
1 Brussels pate £0.45
2 x 6 packs of Cumberland sausage £1.98
2 x trays of honey roasted parsnips £1.75
1 carton of clotted cream £0.45
1 large Christmas pudding £1.50
1 x 1kg pork loin joint £1.45
1 pack of 70 cooked chilled cocktail sausages £0.75
8 lemon muffins £1
10 bread rolls and 2 loaves £1.60

Very pleased with my savings to go with the turkey and other veg.

    Nice...not too sure about paying £1.75 for parsnips but everything is quite good.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
