    Tesco....you didn's say Tesco.

    Are these offers really good deals?

    Hone Roast Parsnips 600g £4? ....aren't parsnips about £1 a kilo...add some honey, olive oil, butter, sesame seed and salt and you have the same thing for much less.

    Roast Potatoes 900g £4? Again a potato is very cheap. Peel, boil, coat in flour, add oil and put in oven.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    I must admit it does make an easy meal. No messing about.

    The meat though...£5 for 640g...bit much isn't it....but that's just my opinion.

    You could get an 800g gammon joint at Tesco for £3 (when you buy two).

    The glaze is just honey, brown sugar, cornflour and vinegar.

    The M&S one isn't that much different from their dine in for two for a tenner really just the side is bigger. I think my wine worked out as being free and everything else came to 21p less than it usually would be. Seeing as I don't (actually can't) drink and Mr Shoe rarely bothers I end up donating it to the wine stall at one of our school fayres or give it away as it mounts up with the meal deals I always think are a bargain.
