  • Fab-est bargain ever for me in Morrisons on Tuesday evening. Packs of Morrisons mature cheddar originally £1.99, now 19p. Loads of them there so I grabbed 11. They're now in my freezer and should really help out in these tight winter months. We use loads of cheese! Hope it keeps ok, I read on here a while ago that cheese keeps ok in the freezer and these packs are vacuum packed so I think they'll be ok. Also got 3 packs of mini-indian bites reduced to 15p from £1.99. I love a bargain!


    Cheese is perfectly fine to freeze, however I do find that when you defrost it, it's very crumbly and a bit of a nightmare to grate. I tend to grate it all first, and then put it into resealable freezer bags. It then also defrosts much quicker :)
  • Sunday 3pm tesco reduced section free for all.

    seem to do it every week, iv had old women run shopping trollys into my heels to get to the section and pinch stuff out of my basket!

    bit of a free for all, but you can pick up some bargins for the freezer!

    There's so little organic on sale in local supermarkets it doesn't make it to yellow sticker pile in the first place. The scariest rugby scrum is at ASDA and I'm more than happy to leave them to it all.
  • edwardia fresh fish, (so long as its not farmed (trout salmon, tilapia, seabass) then your good to go!

    today was pants, i was late by about 10minutes and their was only scraps left
  • I watched a fight in my local tescos between 2 women over a pineapple. It has got so bad that the fishmonger now has to have a security guard with him when he takes the whoopies down.

    As much as I hate Tesco's deceitfulness, if their new marketing tactics include providing such entertainment while you shop then I might start going back there more regularly.

    Nothing too amazing to report. Needed pork and picked up a small bit for half price. Needed bacon and got it half price again more than I needed so it will all be cooked and added to another meal. Got organic pears for 13p which will go into a salad and then a pear and mincemeat cake to use up the half jar mincemeat. Got cereal half price just because the box was damaged!
    If you dont know where you are going... Any road will take you there :rotfl:

    3x 800g Warbies Wholemeal loaves yesterday at work for 30p each.

    Someone put the display of them next to the milk and no-one in the bakery dept bothered to check the date of them until a customer pointed it out.

    Also the tub of Mexican dips - 45p
  • Didn't seems to be doing too well with reductions for whole of January, until this week and picked up

    Cauliflower 31p
    Lean Steak Mince £1.00
    2 Haddock Fish x 2 £1.00 each
    Rump Steak (thick peice) x 2 £1.00 each
    Large Cottage Pie £1.24
