Well for those of us on a tight budget and enjoy nice nice food we tend to look for these things.
So not ironic for the majority of us.0 -
Inasmuch as almost all of his recipes seem to contain this.If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5?

I shall watch it-there's very little worth watching on TV these days and I might learn something. At least I can get with my knitting while it's on.0

I expect every recipe will have garlic in it (yuk).
I'm surprised they haven't started putting it in puddings yet.
Garlic ice cream was mentioned a few years ago - I think the maker was on the Isle of Wight. I love garlic, but I can't think of anything more repulsive. Each to their own, I suppose.Better is good enough.0 -

I think you have got this spot on. OSers are real experts in living frugally. We already know lots of hints and tips to keep the costs down. The amount of help and knowledge on this forum is exceptional but I think we sometimes forget that not everyone knows what we know.
I'm sure when it starts we will all be watching saying he could have done it cheaper but a Tesco Finest to Tesco Value type change is going to scare a lot of people off. I think you need to bring people round gently.
You only have to watch tv shows to see that the majority of people dont have much of a clue about their finances and how to save money. Jamie will need to do a show aimed at these 'normals' rather than us OSers.0 -
another programme to look out for, Tuesday at 8pm on CH4
Something for nothing
