    Was going to make crispy cakes but forgot to see if C*-*p sells an equivalent of value chocolate.

    Ours doesn't if that makes you feel better. I got the 3 for 1 cheese too, about to grate and freeze it before the gannets spot it.

    Thanks hex2, i forgot to pop it on the grocery shopping; but i wasn't going to trek back to the shop just in case, in order to make crsipies - we will live without them. There is only me eats cheese here and i am doing SW, so the amount is limited. It'll probably last me til the sell by date :rotfl:!

    Small spend yesterday - £1.48 on six eggs and £1.70 on caster sugar. OH volunteered me to make a cake for his brother's birthday... don't mind but they're having a boy's poker and golf-watching night so I'm not actually invited to the party :rotfl:

    Made calzones last night and on a healthy whim decided to sub some of the white flour for brown, worked out pretty well:

    £14.50 spent in a farm shop today on pork belly, sausages and some cake to take to a friend's. Our weekly Aldi shop is tomorrow but shouldn't be too bad as we are out a lot of the week and away again next weekend x

    My tea was Thai curry and jasmine rice. Will definitely invest in better rice in future, makes all the difference
