    Several times recently I've seen fresh sardines heavily reduced at our Tesco, which has a fresh fish counter. They normally have to be used that day and I often have another meal planned, so I haven't bought them very often. This week I did buy.
    Well over a kilo of fresh sardines for £1.80, I filleted them, otherwise I'd have been grilling whole sardines all evening. Absolutely delicious.

    If they haven't been previously frozen, I usually freeze them in portions.

    Picked up some french brie yesterday in Waitrose which had been reduced from £2.75 to £1.09. When I got home I realised it had gone through at the original price, took it back and was refunded the £2.75 as a gesture of goodwill so got it free.:)
  • Another good haul today!

    2 packs of Polish deli sausage @10p each
    2 Sultana cakes @ 25p each
    1 pack Tsco finest pork sausages - 33p
    2 packs Chantilly carrots @10p each

    Total= £1.23 (originally: £12.50ish!)

    Sausage for OHs sandwiches, cakes into the freezer for visitors, sausages into the freezer, and the carrots I'll prep and roast for carrot hummus for my lunches next week :-)

    Morrisons this evening because I got a flyer with coupon offering £5 off a £40 shop..picked up YS wild Alaskan salmon fillets 4.55 which sounds expensive for YS but they were proper big fillets not strips and really nice (had for dinner). Also got 2L Yeo Valley organic whole milk 39p.
