    Co-op. 4 Ciabatta rolls, from £1.00 to 19p. 6 soft white rolls, from 99p to 19p. The Co-op does appear to be rather good for cheap bread.
    If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5? :)

    I buy reduced stuff all the time and tbh I don't bother with the dates they put on them. I freeze some that day and the other i use in the next few days.

    I have 1 son who is totally paranoid that it cam't be used and the other son who just believes me it won't kill him lol

    I like to more or less empty my fridge each week so nothing gets wasted.

    Ewwww in my cupboard found some lasagne bbf 2011 ROFL

    Eldest doesn't like it which is why it was at the back - damn another squid in the bin

    If it's dried lasagne and it's "best before" rather than "use/sell by", personally, I'd still use it. It shouldn't have gone off, just won't be at its best.:)

    today at S got:
    A Mexican Discovery Enchilada Kit for 69p
    (I have no idea why it was marked down. Box was perfect, was well within date. Totally expected it to ring up at £2.50)

    2 Sainsbury's Taste The Difference Tikka Masala Meals for £1.14 each
    Bonus, they're freezable!

    Finding a lot of bargains in Budgens lately. Sadly I'll be moving away soon and I don't think there'll be one nearby.

    Jersey Gold Top Milk 1 litre 29p
    1 pint skimmed milk 19p
    Bag supervalue carrots 30p

    Found 78p on the shop floor with not a soul in sight, which exactly paid for my YS shopping! So it was all free to me! :D
